Excel Guru Needed For Formula

I have to forecast estimated warranty cost on a month by month basis, which
sounds easy enough. The issue I have is the following:

Project sold for $3600.00
We acrrue 1.5% for warranty = $54.00
Warranty starts on 4/1/2008
Warranty ends on 4/1/2009
12 months of warranty = $4.5 per month.

I need to forecast $4.50 a month for 12 months from April 1, 2008 - April 1,
2009.
How do I do this???
I can forecast the amount in a single month, but the month over month is
killing me..

I forgot to say that I am running excel 2003. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I guess I don't understand your problem, since all you need to do is figure
out how many months have elapsed since 4/1/2008 and multiply by $4.50. Do
you not know how to calculate elapsed months? There are many ways - but one
would be to convert each date to (YEAR * 12) + MONTH and then do a
subtraction. Sorry if I'm not understanding the problem.
