To find the monthly withdrawal amount, we use the formula for the annuity payment: PMT = P * (r(1+r)^n) / ((1+r)^n - 1), where P is the principal ($300,000), r is the monthly interest rate (7% annually or 0.07/12 monthly), and n is the total number of payments (20 years * 12 months). Solving this gives approximately $2,326.
