Estimate how long your investment corpus may support monthly withdrawals and retirement income under an assumed return rate.
Results are estimates for planning and education. Review assumptions regularly as returns, goals, and risk tolerance change.

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator helps you test monthly income, corpus longevity, and leftover balance before relying on withdrawals.
Regular investing can reduce decision friction and make long-term wealth building easier to sustain.
Step-Up SIP helps you test how contribution increases may improve future outcomes as income grows.
SWP helps you estimate how accumulated wealth may support later withdrawals without switching tools.
SIP stands for systematic investment plan. It allows you to invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, usually monthly, so you can build wealth over time without relying on one large initial investment.
SWP stands for systematic withdrawal plan. It helps you estimate how much income you may withdraw from an invested corpus and how long that corpus may last under an assumed return rate.
Lump sum investing is often useful when you already have money available to invest today and want to model how it may grow over a long time horizon.
A SIP calculator helps you estimate how regular investing may grow over time. It turns monthly contributions, expected returns, and time horizon into a clearer picture of possible future value, helping you plan with more confidence.
SWP planning is especially useful after retirement because it shows how withdrawal size, return rate, and corpus amount interact. A smaller withdrawal may improve corpus longevity, while a larger withdrawal may exhaust it sooner.
SIP helps you invest steadily over time instead of depending on one large contribution. It can be useful for long-term planning when consistency matters more than perfect timing.
Step-Up SIP models what happens if you increase your contribution periodically, which may be useful when income rises over time.
SWP helps you estimate how an accumulated corpus may support ongoing withdrawals while the remaining balance continues to earn returns.
SIP and lump sum investing serve different situations. SIP suits regular contribution planning, while lump sum is useful when you already have capital ready to invest. This page lets you compare both in one place.
Comparing investing paths helps you choose the approach that better fits your cash flow, time horizon, and comfort with market timing.
It estimates how long a corpus may last when you withdraw a fixed amount at regular intervals.
SWP can be used to plan retirement cash flow, but actual outcomes depend on market returns and withdrawal discipline.
Use a conservative expected return and test multiple scenarios because withdrawals during weak market periods can reduce corpus faster.
Tax treatment depends on the investment type and holding period. Check current rules or consult a tax professional.
SIP projections use monthly compounding from your contribution, expected annual return, and duration. Lumpsum projections use standard compound growth, while SWP estimates monthly withdrawals after applying the assumed monthly return.
