Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) Calculator

SWP allows you to withdraw a fixed amount regularly from your mutual fund investment. Ideal for creating regular income in retirement while remaining invested.

Formula

Where r = monthly return rate. Calculation continues until balance is exhausted or reaches target period.

Example Calculation

Scenario:

Initial investment ₹50 lakh, monthly withdrawal ₹40,000, expected return 8% p.a.

Calculation:

Month-by-month withdrawal with growth on remaining balance

Result:

Investment can last approximately 16 years

Key Points

  • Provides regular income while keeping money invested and growing
  • More tax-efficient than interest income as only capital gains are taxed
  • Can outlast Fixed Deposits if returns are good
  • Withdrawal amount can be adjusted based on needs
  • Choose between fixed amount or capital appreciation withdrawal

Tax Implications:

  • Each withdrawal triggers capital gains tax based on holding period
  • Tax calculated only on gains portion, not entire withdrawal
  • Equity funds: LTCG at 12.5% (>12 months), STCG at 20%
  • More tax efficient than FD interest which is taxed at slab rates
