How the balance is worked out

There is a direct way to work out growth with regular deposits. The starting balance grows by one plus the monthly rate raised to the power of 384. The deposits of $600 add up to the deposit times that growth factor minus one, divided by the monthly rate. Add the two parts to get the final balance. The monthly rate here is 0.5417 percent.
