Assume you want to have $60,000 in 20 years and the discount rate is 3%. You would need a make a one-time investment of $33,220.55, which is the the present value of $60,000 discounted at 3% for 20 years.

The present value is computed using the standard present value formula:
Present Value = Future Value / (1 + Annual Discount Rate )^Number of Years
