A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) is an effective way to receive a regular income from your mutual fund investments while keeping your capital invested. SWPs allow you to withdraw a fixed amount at regular intervals, such as monthly or quarterly, helping you manage your finances without disrupting long-term growth.
Our SWP Calculator helps you estimate how long your investment will last, how much you can withdraw periodically, and how your wealth can continue to grow while generating steady income.

What is a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)?
An SWP lets investors withdraw a pre-decided amount from their mutual fund investments at regular intervals. This is particularly useful for:
- Retirees seeking a regular income stream
- Individuals managing monthly expenses from their investment corpus
- Investors who want to balance withdrawals and compounding growth
The benefits of SWP include:
- Regular Income: Provides predictable cash flow.
- Flexibility: Choose withdrawal amount, frequency, and duration.
- Tax Efficiency: Withdrawals are often taxed as capital gains rather than regular income, depending on the fund type.
- Growth Potential: Remaining invested funds can continue to generate returns.
