Real-World Scenarios
Sustainable lifestyle. With 12% returns, your principal actually grows even after withdrawing this much!
A safe withdrawal rate that protects against market dips and long-term retirement stress.
Professional Strategy Insights
- The Bucket Strategy: Keep 2 years of SWP in a Debt Fund and the rest in Equity. This prevents selling equity at a loss during a market crash.
- Inflation-Adjusted SWP: Start low and increase your withdrawal by 5% every year to maintain the same purchasing power as costs rise.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the safe withdrawal rate?
Wealth experts suggest 4% to 6% per annum for a 30-year retirement period to ensure the corpus is never depleted.
Is SWP tax-efficient?
Yes, much better than dividends or interest. Only the growth portion of each withdrawal is taxed (as LTCG/STCG), not the whole amount.
Mathematical Methodology
At eCalcy, transparency is our core principle. This SIP calculator utilizes the Future Value (FV) of Annuity Due formula with monthly compounding intervals (n=12). We account for compounding frequencies (Quarterly for FD, Monthly for SIP/EMI) to ensure high accuracy compared to official bank statements.
