Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) Calculator

Calculate monthly cash withdrawals from a mutual fund lump sum, and estimate the remaining capital balance over time.

SWP Cash Flow Summary

Analyze how your retirement withdrawals affect your overall capital balance:

Starting Corpus

The initial lump sum mutual fund or capital balance before withdrawals begin.

Total Withdrawn

The total income you withdraw over the plan duration.

Remaining Balance

The final value of your mutual fund corpus at the end of the tenure.

How is it calculated?

Bal_{new} = (Bal_{prev} - W) \times (1 + r_{monthly})

Where Bal is balance, W is monthly withdrawal amount, and r_monthly is the monthly return rate. This is compounded monthly.

Worked Examples

₹20 Lakh Capital with ₹15,000 Monthly SWP

Starting with ₹2,000,000 at a 10% annual return and withdrawing ₹15,000 monthly, after 10 years you will have withdrawn ₹1,800,000 and still have a remaining fund balance of ₹2,234,510!

Inflation-Adjusted Withdrawals

For a sustainable withdrawal plan, ensure your annual withdrawal rate does not exceed 4% to 6% of the initial capital.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SWP useful for retirement planning?
Yes, SWP is highly popular for retirees as it provides a structured monthly passive income stream from accumulated mutual funds while keeping the remaining capital invested to beat inflation.
How is SWP taxed?
Each monthly withdrawal is treated as a redemption of mutual fund units. Only the capital gains portion of the withdrawn amount is taxed, not the entire withdrawal.
