SWP Calculator

How long will your retirement corpus last?

Money lasts
13 yrs 10 mos
Total withdrawn
₹1.66 Cr

Simulates steady returns. Real market ups and downs — especially early in retirement — can shorten or extend this.

How it works

We simulate month by month: the corpus grows by the expected return, then your withdrawal is subtracted. The simulation stops when the money runs out — showing exactly how long your corpus survives.

Example

₹1 crore withdrawing ₹1 lakh/month at 8% returns lasts about 14 years. Withdraw only ₹50,000/month and the same corpus can last indefinitely.

FAQs

What is an SWP in mutual funds?

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan auto-redeems a fixed amount from your fund monthly into your bank account — the reverse of a SIP, popular in retirement.

How is SWP taxed?

Each withdrawal counts as a redemption: equity gains taxed as STCG/LTCG, debt per slab. Only the gain portion is taxed, not the full withdrawal.

Should withdrawals rise with inflation?

Ideally yes — but higher withdrawals drain the corpus faster. Test both scenarios above before fixing your number.
