Annuity starting monthly after retirement (P) =   24,000.00  
Time in months = (n) = 20*12=   240  
interest rate per month (i) = 9?/12=   0.0075  
      
Present Value of annuity formula =( P *(1-(1/(1+i)^n))/i)      
=24000*(1-(1/(1+0.0075)^240))/0.0075)      
=2,667,478.90      
      
So before retirement K2,667,478.90 would be required to provide K24000 pension after retirement, it means after 30 years.       


Amount is now Future value for today= 2,667,478.90  
Time in months (n)=30*12=   360  
interest rate per month (i) = 9?/12=   0.0075  
Future value of annuity formula = P *{ (1+i)^n - 1 } / i      
2,667,478.90   = P*(((1+0.0075)^360)-1)/0.0075  
2,667,478.90   =P*   1830.743483
P= 1,457.05  


So amount required to contribute each month is K1,457.05
