Formula
R = K0·q^n / ((q^n − 1)/(q − 1))
How the formula works

The reverse pension question: from existing capital the payout is calculated that just uses it up over the term. Because the remaining capital keeps earning interest until the very end, the pension is higher than capital divided by months.

Annuity from present value, ending capital = 0.
