what is systematic withdrawal plan
A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) allows investors to receive a regular stream of income from their mutual fund investments. Using an SWP Calculator, you can easily estimate periodic withdrawals and understand how long your investment may last.
This approach serves as an effective pension (or regular cash flow) generating strategy.
How does a Systematic Withdrawal Plan work?
Consider an investor contributing Rs 1,00,000 annually for the next two decades with an assumed 12% average return.
By the end of the 20th year, the total corpus would be approximately 80.7 lakhs. Opting for a systematic withdrawal of Rs 50,000 allows for a decent corpus lasting at least 10-15 years. And the reserve also grows in value. Additionally, choosing schemes with consistent dividends could extend the duration to 15-20 years.
