An SWP is often used by retirees or people planning regular cash flow from a corpus. This calculator helps estimate whether withdrawals look comfortable under the return assumption entered.
If a retiree starts with Rs. 50,00,000 and withdraws Rs. 30,000 per month at an assumed 8% annual return, the corpus may last through the selected 20-year period in this simplified view.
| Scenario | Input or situation | Planning meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative withdrawal | Rs. 20,000/month | Corpus lasts longer |
| Balanced withdrawal | Rs. 30,000/month | Needs periodic review |
| Higher withdrawal | Rs. 50,000/month | Higher depletion risk |
If the result looks different from what you expected, use it as a signal to adjust the amount, timeline, rate assumption, or monthly cash flow. A calculator cannot decide for you, but it can make the next step clearer.
The calculator applies the standard formula or month-by-month method used for this tool, based on your inputs. The purpose is to show directionally how amount, time, rate, and contribution pattern affect the result.
This calculator uses simplified assumptions and fixed inputs. Actual results may vary because of market performance, interest rate changes, tax rules, fees, product limits, government notifications, lender terms, and personal behavior.
