What is a Systematic Withdrawal Plan?
A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) is an investment redemption strategy through which you can withdraw a fixed sum from your mutual fund corpus at frequent intervals. Throughout the tenure of the SWP, depending on how the assets in your mutual fund portfolio perform, you may continue to earn returns on the remaining corpus.
For example, say you have a mutual fund portfolio worth Rs. 10 lakhs, with 10,000 units whose NAV is Rs. 100 each. You decide to set up a monthly Systematic Withdrawal Plan and withdraw Rs. 10,000 regularly in instalments. Now, if the NAV of the scheme during the first month is Rs. 120, you will be able to redeem 83 units at this NAV and withdraw Rs. 10,000 (i.e. Rs. 120 x 83 units). This leaves you with 9,917 units in your mutual fund portfolio. Then, during the next month, say the NAV increases to Rs. 150. You can then redeem 67 units and withdraw Rs. 10,000 (Rs. 150 x 67 units). In this manner, you can systematically withdraw your mutual fund investments.
What is a SWP Calculator?
A SWP calculator is a free online tool that helps you evaluate how your mutual fund corpus will be affected once you implement your Systematic Withdrawal Plan. It calculates the future value of your mutual fund portfolio based on various parameters like the current investment value, the monthly withdrawal amount, the expected annual returns from the mutual fund scheme and the tenure of the SWP in years.
