SWP Calculator

Model a systematic withdrawal from your corpus.

What is SWP?

Model a systematic withdrawal from your corpus.

What does the SWP Calculator do?

The SWP Calculator takes your own numbers and projects the result using the method described below, showing every assumption rather than a single opaque figure.

How this is calculated — the formula

Each month the corpus grows at 1/12th of your rate, then the withdrawal is subtracted. The withdrawal itself steps up annually by your chosen rate. The simulation runs month-by-month until the corpus hits zero or 50 years pass — this is why corpus life is the headline number, not a fixed maturity value.

Tax treatment

Withdrawals from an equity fund realize LTCG/STCG on the redeemed units under current rules, not taxed as ordinary income. Withdrawals from a debt fund are taxed at your income slab regardless of holding period since the 2023 rule change.

Frequently asked questions
Is the SWP Calculator's result a fixed outcome?

No — every figure here is an illustrative projection based on the assumptions you enter, not a promised or fixed return. Change any input to see how the result moves.

Is tax already accounted for?

Withdrawals from an equity fund realize LTCG/STCG on the redeemed units under current rules, not taxed as ordinary income. Withdrawals from a debt fund are taxed at your income slab regardless of holding period since the 2023 rule change.
