Plan changing lifestyle needs
Use stepped withdrawal phases for travel, family obligations, lifestyle upgrades or later-life healthcare. A single flat SWP may not represent real needs.

Example prefilled: You are 40 today. You wish to withdraw ₹1 lakh/month at ages 50–55, ₹1.5 lakh at 56–60 and ₹2 lakh from age 61 to 85. Change any assumption or add more income phases.
Inclusive: through the end of this age.
Optional legacy or emergency reserve.
Your monthly income phases
Amounts are in future rupees at the start of each phase (not today's purchasing power). A phase includes all months from its starting age through its ending age.
| From age | Through age | Monthly withdrawal (₹) | Action |
|---|
Each subsequent phase begins at its stated monthly amount; inflation escalation then restarts from that phase's first year. Use a higher amount for later phases to explicitly model a step-up.
Enter an existing portfolio and withdrawal amount. Compare a fixed rupee withdrawal with an annual inflation-adjusted withdrawal and see when your corpus could be depleted.
Projected retirement corpus
Projected balance by age, assuming consistent monthly compounding.
Income required by age
Average planned (or actual) monthly retirement withdrawals for each age-year.

Three Things an Effective SWP Plan Should Show
A withdrawal plan is not just a monthly payout figure. It is the relationship between income, rising expenses, investment growth and the time your capital must last.
Protect purchasing power
₹1 lakh per month today will not buy the same basket of goods decades later. Model annual withdrawal increases rather than looking only at a fixed payout.
Test how long funds last
Returns fluctuate. Simulations use smooth illustrative growth; a real portfolio experiences sequence-of-returns risk, taxes and possible losses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the required corpus at retirement calculated?
We discount each planned monthly withdrawal back to the retirement date, using an effective monthly rate derived from your assumed annual return. Withdrawals are modelled at the beginning of each month, and any optional ending reserve is discounted to the retirement date.
How is the required SIP calculated?
The calculator first subtracts the projected future value of any savings you already hold. It then divides the remaining target by the future-value annuity factor for equal monthly SIP contributions made at each month-end until retirement.
What is the difference between future rupees and today's purchasing power?
The staged amounts you enter are the nominal monthly amounts you wish to withdraw at the beginning of each age phase. For example, ₹1 lakh beginning at age 50 means ₹1 lakh at age 50, not ₹1 lakh in today's purchasing power at age 40. The annual inflation option can increase payouts within each phase.
What if I need income beyond the last age entered?
Increase the final age in the calculator. The amount required rises when income continues for more years. If a phase ends before the final age, the calculator flags a gap instead of assuming income.
Does a mutual fund SWP guarantee the monthly amount?
No. A Systematic Withdrawal Plan systematically redeems units; the underlying investment value and units remaining depend on market returns, costs and taxes. Sufficient units and redemption eligibility are required.
Why can two portfolios with the same average return produce different outcomes?
Withdrawals during market declines can force more units to be redeemed. This sequence-of-returns risk is not captured by a model assuming a constant monthly growth rate.
