Thank you for trying with the code tags, but you don't need to tag each line separately. Put all of the code in between a single set of code tags.

You have: retirement = pmt * ((1 + wr)n - 1) / wr); Since the computer doesn't understand algebra (unless you program it to), you need to put a * in wherever it's needed. retirement = pmt*((1+w*r)*n - 1)/(w*r);
