hi

both will and shall are used to make the future. However, as a native English speaker I never use shall with the idea of future. Here in Canada as well as in the USA "Will" is used to make the future whereas shall is used in questions similar to the idea of let's. In this case shall is used in a more formal way.
For example:

Shall we start the meeting? (Let's start the meeting?)
Shall we go now? (let's go now?)
Let's go, shall we?

In formal documents shall is used in american English to express obligation, in this case it's similar to Must.

Ex: All applicants shall provide the required documents.
