About Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)
A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) is a facility that allows an investor to withdraw a fixed amount of money from their mutual fund scheme at regular intervals (e.g., monthly, quarterly, or annually). It provides a steady stream of income while the rest of the investment continues to have the potential for capital appreciation.
Who is SWP Suitable For?
SWP is ideal for individuals who have accumulated a significant corpus and need a regular source of income, such as:
- Retirees: To create a pension-like income from their retirement savings.
- Individuals with regular financial goals: Such as paying for monthly expenses, EMIs, or funding a child's education.
- Conservative Investors: Who want to systematically book profits and reduce their exposure to market volatility over time.
How does the SWP Calculator work?
An SWP calculator helps you determine how long your invested corpus will last if you withdraw a fixed amount regularly. You need to enter the following details:
- Total Investment Amount: The initial corpus you have invested.
- Monthly Withdrawal Amount: The fixed amount you wish to withdraw every month.
- Expected Annual Return (%): The rate at which you expect your remaining investment to grow.
The calculator will then estimate the future value of your investment and show you how many years your money will last.
