One window for the whole journey: build the corpus, then spend it
Most online calculators stop at the moment your investing ends. You work out that a ₹25,000 monthly SIP at 12% for 20 years becomes ₹2.5 Crore, and then you have to copy that number, open a second tab, find a systematic withdrawal plan calculator, and retype it into a “total investment” field. Get one digit wrong and the entire retirement picture is wrong.
This tool removes that step. The total value your SIP or lumpsum produces is passed straight into the SWP calculator’s total investment field, live, as you move the sliders. Change the return assumption from 12% to 10% and the withdrawal projection underneath updates in the same breath. You never copy a number, and the two halves of the plan can never drift apart.
How the SIP to SWP handoff works
- Pick your accumulation mode. SIP for a monthly contribution, Lumpsum for a one-time amount.
- Set amount, expected return and time period. The results card shows invested amount, estimated returns and total value.
- Look down at the SWP section. Total investment is already filled in with that total value — no copying, no retyping.
- Enter your monthly withdrawal and the SWP period. You immediately see total withdrawals and the projected final value, so you can tell whether the corpus survives the plan or is exhausted by it.
- Override it if you want. Type your own figure into total investment and the tool respects it — useful when you already hold a corpus and only need the withdrawal half. The SWP only view does the same thing.
A worked example
Say you invest ₹25,000 a month for 20 years and assume 12% a year. You contribute ₹60 Lakh of your own money; estimated returns add ₹1.9 Crore, for a total of ₹2.5 Crore. That total drops into the SWP calculator by itself. Withdraw ₹1,50,000 a month for the next 25 years at a more conservative 9% return and you take out ₹4.5 Crore in total, with a projected final value of ₹6.68 Crore. Two numbers, one screen, no spreadsheet.
What a ₹5,000 to ₹50,000 monthly SIP builds at 12%
| Monthly SIP | Period | You invest | Est. returns | Total value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹5,000 | 10 years | ₹6 Lakh | ₹5.62 Lakh | ₹11.62 Lakh |
| ₹5,000 | 15 years | ₹9 Lakh | ₹16.23 Lakh | ₹25.23 Lakh |
| ₹5,000 | 20 years | ₹12 Lakh | ₹37.96 Lakh | ₹49.96 Lakh |
| ₹10,000 | 10 years | ₹12 Lakh | ₹11.23 Lakh | ₹23.23 Lakh |
| ₹10,000 | 15 years | ₹18 Lakh | ₹32.46 Lakh | ₹50.46 Lakh |
| ₹10,000 | 20 years | ₹24 Lakh | ₹75.91 Lakh | ₹99.91 Lakh |
| ₹25,000 | 10 years | ₹30 Lakh | ₹28.08 Lakh | ₹58.08 Lakh |
| ₹25,000 | 15 years | ₹45 Lakh | ₹81.14 Lakh | ₹1.26 Crore |
| ₹25,000 | 20 years | ₹60 Lakh | ₹1.9 Crore | ₹2.5 Crore |
| ₹50,000 | 10 years | ₹60 Lakh | ₹56.17 Lakh | ₹1.16 Crore |
| ₹50,000 | 15 years | ₹90 Lakh | ₹1.62 Crore | ₹2.52 Crore |
| ₹50,000 | 20 years | ₹1.2 Crore | ₹3.8 Crore | ₹5 Crore |
The formulas behind the numbers
The SIP side uses the future value of an annuity due, because a SIP instalment is paid at the beginning of each month and therefore earns a full month of growth:
FV = P × [ ((1 + i)n − 1) ÷ i ] × (1 + i)
P is the monthly instalment, i is the annual rate divided by 12 and then by 100, and n is the number of months. The SWP side compounds the corpus forward and subtracts each withdrawal as it happens:
FV = C × (1 + i)n − W × [ ((1 + i)n − 1) ÷ i ]
C is the starting corpus, W the fixed monthly withdrawal. A negative final value means the withdrawals outran the corpus — reduce W, shorten the period, or go back and build a larger C.
