Annuity Payments From A Present Amount

I am trying to figure out how to use functions in Excel to calculate an
annuity from a present amount. Do you happen to know how I would do this?
For Example:
Present Amount = $100,000
Period = 30 years (annual payments at beginning of each year)
Interest Rate = 6% / year
Annual Amount of Withdrawel Available = ?
Value at end of 30yr period = $0

Thank for your assistance,

James Richey

Use the PMT function, as in:

=pmt(6%,30,100000)
=7264.89

Regards,
Fred.
