Inputs

Formula

  • i = rate / 12 / 100
  • Balanceₘ = Balanceₘ₋₁ × (1 + i) − Wₘ
  • Wᵧ = W₀ × (1 + escalation)^(y−1)
  • Corpus survives while Balance > 0

An SWP is a reverse SIP: the corpus keeps earning, but each withdrawal removes principal plus the future growth it would have produced. Sustainability depends on the gap between the return and the withdrawal rate — a withdrawal above roughly 6–7% of corpus a year erodes capital quickly once inflation escalation is added.

Assumptions

  • Return is credited monthly and withdrawals happen at month end.
  • Capital-gains tax on redeemed units is not deducted.
  • Sequence-of-returns risk (bad early years) is not modelled.

Tips

  • Keep 2–3 years of withdrawals in debt so equity is never sold in a crash.
  • Test your plan at a 2% lower return before committing to it.

Warnings

  • A flat withdrawal loses purchasing power — set the escalation to at least expected inflation.
