What is a SWP calculator

A SWP calculator is a financial tool that assists investors in planning regular withdrawals from their mutual fund investment. Users input key details like the initial investment, withdrawal frequency, withdrawal amount, and start date. The SWP calculator then calculates and displays information about the number of withdrawals, withdrawal amounts, and the projected remaining investment balance over time.

With the SWP mutual fund calculator, you can make informed decisions about your withdrawal strategy, ensuring that you can generate a steady income stream while preserving the longevity and growth potential of your investment portfolio.

How does the SWP calculator work? 

A SWP calculator determines the periodic withdrawals you can make from a mutual fund while maintaining a desired level of income or portfolio balance. It considers factors like the initial investment, desired withdrawal amount, investment duration, and expected rate of return.

Using these inputs, the calculator estimates the frequency and number of withdrawals needed to meet your financial goals. It helps you plan for regular income or manage your investments to meet specific financial needs, such as retirement.

The SWP calculator ensures a systematic and sustainable approach to fund withdrawals, optimizing financial security. Here is the formula for the SWP calculator.

Withdrawal Amount = (Initial Investment Amount × Withdrawal Rate) + (Fund Growth × Withdrawal Rate)

For example:

Priya invested Rs. 5,00,000 in an equity fund giving 8% returns p.a. (0.0067% per month) for an investment period of 12 months. She wants to make monthly withdrawals of Rs. 10,000 starting from the 1st month. Every month, Priya’s investment will be reduced by Rs. 10,000. What is left after the withdrawal will remain invested in the chosen fund.

Here is a table that shows Priya’s returns and withdrawals:
