Hint
Try writing the numbers out as letters.
Answer
45.
Reasoning
Each term increases by the number of letters in the previous term (ignoring any hyphens).
1 + length("ONE") = 4
4 + length("FOUR") = 8
8 + length("EIGHT") = 13
13 + length("THIRTEEN") = 21
21 + length("TWENTYONE") = 30
30 + length("THIRTY") = 36
36 + length("THIRTYSIX") = 45
