Frequently Asked Questions

SWP Calculation Methodology

The Concept

Remaining = (Previous Bal + Monthly Return) - Withdrawal

Unlike simple interest, the corpus continuously earns returns while you withdraw.

If Monthly Return > Withdrawal, the corpus grows indefinitely.

If Monthly Return < Withdrawal, the corpus eventually depletes.
