SWP Calculator – Systematic Withdrawal Plan Calculator

Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) is a method of withdrawing a fixed sum from your mutual fund investment at regular intervals. Unlike SIPs, which focus on investing systematically, SWPs allow you to take money out systematically from your corpus while still keeping the remaining investment growing.

A SWP calculator helps you estimate the remaining corpus after regular withdrawals, taking into account your investment amount, expected returns, duration, and withdrawal frequency.

What is a SWP Calculator?

A SWP calculator is a simple tool to calculate the future corpus left after you withdraw a fixed amount periodically. It is especially useful for retirees or investors who wish to generate a regular income stream from their mutual fund investments.

By using this calculator, you can determine:
-> How long your investment will last with fixed withdrawals
-> How much corpus will remain at the end of the tenure
-> How different withdrawal amounts or frequencies affect the corpus

How can a SWP calculator help you?

Systematic withdrawals are a flexible way to earn regular income without liquidating your entire investment at once. A SWP calculator helps you:
-> Plan monthly or yearly withdrawals
-> Estimate the remaining corpus after a set period
-> Make informed decisions on withdrawal amount and frequency

How does a SWP calculator work?

The SWP calculator uses the following formula:

FV = P × (1 + i)^n – W × ((1 + i)^n – 1) / i

Where:
FV = Remaining corpus after withdrawals
P = Initial investment amount
W = Withdrawal amount per period
n = Total number of withdrawal periods
i = Periodic rate of return (annual rate ÷ periods per year)

Example:
Initial investment (P) = 500000
Annual return = 12%
Withdrawal amount (W) = 10000 per month
Investment period = 10 years

Monthly rate (i) = 12 ÷ 12 = 0.01
Total periods (n) = 10 × 12 = 120

FV = 500000 × (1 + 0.01)^120 – 10000 × ((1 + 0.01)^120 – 1)/0.01

Remaining corpus (FV) ≈ -666376

This shows that the investment will run out before 10 years if withdrawals remain at this level.
