Algorithm Used

Reverse Amortization & Portfolio Depletion Algorithm

Mathematical Convention

A discrete depletion-growth recurrence algorithm modeling periodic monthly redemptions from an actively compounding capital base. Evaluates B_m = B_(m-1) × (1 + i) - W. If periodic yield exceeds withdrawals, corpus lasts perpetually; otherwise, models capital drawdown velocity.

Key Algorithmic Conventions & Assumptions

Fixed monthly withdrawal deducted at end of each period
Residual portfolio continues to compound at periodic rate i = Rate / 12
Capital gains tax liabilities not deducted at source in cashflow balance

Mathematical Formula

Monthly Reducing Balance Systematic Withdrawal

B_m = B_(m-1) × (1 + i) - W

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) redeems a fixed amount monthly while the remaining balance continues to generate compounded returns.

Step-by-Step Calculation Walkthrough

1Calculate annual withdrawal amount = ₹25,000 × 12 = ₹3,00,000.
2Withdrawal rate on initial corpus = (₹3,00,000 / ₹50,00,000) × 100 = 6.00%.
3Compare withdrawal rate against expected portfolio return 8%: Portfolio generates more return than withdrawn (capital growing/preserving).
4After 10 years, total cashflow extracted: ₹30,00,000.
5Final remaining corpus: ₹65,24,550.

Strategic Insights & Financial Takeaways

Safe Withdrawal Rule: Keeping your withdrawal rate under 6-8% p.a. ensures your corpus lasts indefinitely while fighting inflation.

Tax Efficiency: Unlike Fixed Deposit interest which is taxed at your full slab rate, SWP redemptions only attract capital gains tax on the profit portion.

Longevity: Your initial corpus generated ₹30,00,000 in direct cashflow and still retains ₹65,24,550 in wealth.

About Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWP)

SWP allows you to withdraw a specified amount from your mutual fund investments on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly, or annually). It serves as an ideal regular pension or monthly income tool for retirees.

Predictable Income

Creates steady monthly cashflows directly into your bank account.

LTCG Benefits

Substantially lower tax drag compared to traditional annuities or fixed deposit interest.

Flexibility

You can stop, pause, increase, or decrease your withdrawal amount at any time without penalties.

About the SWP Calculator

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan takes a fixed amount out of your mutual fund investment every month while the remaining balance stays invested. This SWP calculator shows how long a corpus can sustain your withdrawals and what is left at the end.

How this swp calculator works

  1. Enter your total corpus, the monthly amount you want to withdraw, the return you expect on the balance and the period.
  2. Each month the calculator subtracts your withdrawal and grows the remaining balance at the expected rate.
  3. You see the total withdrawn, the closing balance, and whether the corpus outlasts the period you chose.

Frequently asked questions

How does an SWP work?
You invest a corpus in a mutual fund and instruct the fund house to redeem a fixed rupee amount on a set date each month. Units are sold to fund each withdrawal while the remaining units stay invested and continue to earn returns.
Is SWP income taxable?
Each withdrawal is a redemption, so only the capital gains portion is taxed, not the full amount withdrawn. This usually makes an SWP more tax-efficient than interest income from a fixed deposit, which is taxed in full at your slab rate.
What withdrawal rate is sustainable?
If your withdrawal rate is below your net return, the corpus keeps growing. Withdrawing more than the corpus earns will steadily deplete it — the calculator shows exactly when that happens for your inputs.
