What is SWP?

SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) is a facility offered by mutual funds that allows investors to withdraw a fixed amount regularly from their investments. It's the opposite of SIP - while SIP helps you accumulate wealth, SWP helps you create regular income from accumulated wealth.

SWP is particularly popular among retirees, senior citizens, and individuals seeking passive income. You can choose to withdraw monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually based on your needs.

हिंदी में: SWP एक ऐसी सुविधा है जिसमें आप अपने म्यूचुअल फंड निवेश से हर महीने एक निश्चित राशि निकाल सकते हैं। यह रिटायरमेंट के बाद नियमित आय के लिए बेस्ट है।

SWP Formula

Future Value = PV × (1+r)n − PMT × [((1+r)n − 1) / r]

  • • PV = Present Value (Initial Corpus)
  • • PMT = Monthly Withdrawal
  • • r = Monthly Rate of Return
  • • n = Number of Months

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)

What is SWP in mutual funds?▼
SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) is a facility where you withdraw a fixed amount regularly from your mutual fund investment. It's opposite of SIP - while SIP accumulates wealth, SWP provides regular income from accumulated wealth. Perfect for retirees and those seeking passive income.
How much SWP can I get from ₹1 Crore?▼
From ₹1 crore corpus at 10% expected return, you can withdraw approximately ₹83,000 per month for 20 years and still have ₹1 crore remaining! Or you can withdraw ₹1.2 lakh/month for about 12-13 years before corpus exhausts.
Is SWP better than FD interest?▼
Yes, SWP is typically better than FD interest because: (1) Higher returns 10-12% vs FD's 6-7%, (2) Tax efficient - only gains taxed not full amount, (3) No TDS unlike FD, (4) Flexible - modify anytime, (5) Better inflation protection over long term.
How is SWP calculated?▼
SWP works on iterative calculation: Each month, your withdrawal is deducted from corpus, then remaining balance earns monthly return. Formula: New Balance = (Previous Balance - Withdrawal) × (1 + Monthly Return). Our calculator does this for entire tenure instantly.
What is the difference between SIP and SWP?▼
SIP = Systematic Investment Plan (you INVEST money regularly). SWP = Systematic Withdrawal Plan (you WITHDRAW money regularly). SIP is for wealth building during earning years. SWP is for income generation during retirement years.
How is SWP taxed in India?▼
For equity funds: STCG 20% if held <1 year, LTCG 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh if held >1 year. For debt funds: Taxed as per income slab. Important: Only the GAIN portion is taxed, not the full withdrawal amount, making SWP very tax-efficient.
Can I do SWP from any mutual fund?▼
Yes, SWP is available in most open-ended mutual funds in India - equity, debt, and hybrid funds. However, ELSS funds only allow SWP after the 3-year lock-in period. For stable SWP income, prefer hybrid or debt funds over pure equity.
Which mutual fund is best for SWP?▼
Best funds for SWP: (1) Hybrid/Balanced funds for moderate risk-return, (2) Debt funds for stability, (3) Conservative hybrid funds for retirees. Avoid pure small-cap or thematic funds for SWP due to high volatility.
What is the minimum amount for SWP?▼
Minimum SWP amount varies by fund house but typically ranges from ₹500 to ₹1,000 per month. Minimum corpus required is usually ₹25,000 to ₹1 lakh. Check specific fund details before starting SWP.
Can I increase or decrease my SWP amount?▼
Yes! SWP is completely flexible. You can increase, decrease, pause, or stop your SWP anytime without any penalty. You can also change the withdrawal frequency (monthly to quarterly) or change the date as per your needs.
Will my SWP corpus ever finish?▼
It depends on withdrawal amount vs returns. If your annual withdrawal % is less than your return %, corpus may grow or remain stable. If withdrawal exceeds returns, corpus will deplete over time. Our calculator shows exactly when corpus will exhaust.
Is SWP good for senior citizens?▼
Absolutely! SWP is excellent for senior citizens because: (1) Provides regular pension-like income, (2) More tax-efficient than FD, (3) Beats inflation with higher returns, (4) Capital can grow even while withdrawing, (5) No senior citizen specific restrictions.
