    in order to solve this problem all you need is a financial calculator. your present value (PV) is 500,000. Your interest rate (I/Y) is 6% yearly. your payment (PMT) is -41,000. your future value (FV) is 0. solve for number of periods (N) and your answer is 22.58. So you could take out 41k for 22 years, and you would have $22,684.81 left over.
