    Monthly payment = $797.464

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    A couple will retire in 50 years.

    They plan to spend about $26,000 a year in retirement, which should last about 25 years.

    They believe that they can earn 9% interest on retirement savings

    n = 50

    i = 0.09

    FV = (26000*25) = 650000

    We need to use the following formula:

    FV = {A*[ (1+i) ^n-1]}/i

    We need to isolate A (monthly pay):

    A = (FV*i) / [ (1+i) ^n-1]

    A = (650000*0.09) / (1.09^50-1)

    A = 58500/73.35752008

    A = $797.464
