the pattern that you should see is that the amount you saved the next month is double the amount you saved the previous month
figure the amounts for each specific month and then add all 12 amounts up for the final total saved in one year
Total = jan+feb+mar+apr+jun+jul+aug +sep+oct+nov+dec
Total = 2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256
+512+1024+2048+4096
Total = $8190

You do a sum function with the month number as the total number of iterations (I don't think that is the term, but I am going to use it anyway) and the function $2.00^n where n is the month number. You can do this function using Excel or any scientific calculator. For an example this simple (only twelve iterations) you can do it manually.
