Frequently Asked Questions

What rate of return should I assume in SWP Calculator: Systematic Withdrawal Plan?

For conservative fixed-income instruments (FD, PPF), use 6.5% - 7.5%. For diversified domestic equity mutual funds, long-term historical 10-year rolling returns average 11% - 13%.

Does this calculator factor in inflation?

Financial advisors recommend rebalancing and reviewing your financial projections at least once every 12 months or whenever there is a major life or income transition.
