SWP calculator

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan pays you a fixed amount every month by redeeming units, while the rest stays invested. It is how most retirees turn a corpus into an income. The question that matters is not how much you can draw, but whether it lasts.

On tax

Each SWP instalment is a redemption, so part of it is a capital gain and is taxable. For equity funds held over a year that is 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh in a financial year. This calculator shows the gross withdrawal, not what reaches your bank account after tax.

Reading this honestly

  • A steady return is assumed. In reality a bad run early in retirement does far more damage than the same run later, because you are selling units at low prices to fund withdrawals. This is sequence-of-returns risk and no single-rate calculator can show it.
  • Set the annual increase near your expected inflation if you want the income to hold its purchasing power. Leaving it at zero quietly halves your real income over about twelve years.
  • Withdrawals are shown gross. Each one is a redemption and part of it is a taxable capital gain.

Important This calculator is an illustration based on the assumptions you enter. It is not a projection or guarantee of returns, and it does not account for exit loads, stamp duty or the taxes payable on redemption. Actual returns will differ. Please consult us before acting on any figure shown here.
