Let FV = future value, PV = present value, N = number of periods (year, quarter, month...)
R = interest rate, PMT = payment per period

Here are the formulae that we need:
1. FV = PV * (1+R) ^ N
where " ^ " means to the power of.

For payments, we have FV = PMT*(1+R) + PMT*(1+R)^2 + ... + PMT*(1+R)^t + ... + PMT*(1+R)^N
where t = the t-th payment.
Then the sum of all the payments is, by using the results from the first question:
FV = PMT [(1+R)^N - 1] / R
Of course, you do ...
