Noob problem, break not ending lines

NotSoSavvy (2)
So I have this code I'm trying to do for writing out compound interest for a given amount over months. When I compile it all the months and number crunches come out on the same line and I can't figure out why the break; in the if statement isn't ending the lines. Any suggestions?

It has nothing to do with break;.
The break works just fine.

Just insert cout<<endl; between line 95 and 96. So it reads..

      cout << setw(10) << a;
    }
	cout<<endl;
  }
}
