Withdrawal Plan Calculator - Strategic Withdrawal Planning

Plan your systematic withdrawal strategy with precision using our comprehensive withdrawal plan calculator. Whether you're planning for education expenses, retirement income, or any long-term financial goal, calculate exactly how much you need to invest and how your corpus will sustain your planned withdrawals.

Smart Withdrawal Planning Features:

How Systematic Withdrawal Planning Works:

Our withdrawal plan calculator uses a two-phase approach. During the accumulation phase, your investments grow at the expected CAGR while you make monthly contributions. During the withdrawal phase, you systematically withdraw funds while the remaining corpus continues to grow, adjusted for inflation-increased withdrawals.

Key Inputs for Planning:

Perfect for Multiple Scenarios:

Education Planning: Plan withdrawals for college tuition, study abroad expenses, or professional courses spread over multiple years.

Retirement Income: Create a sustainable withdrawal strategy for post-retirement living expenses with inflation protection.

Sabbatical Planning: Fund a career break or world tour with systematic withdrawals from your savings.

Healthcare Costs: Prepare for long-term medical expenses or elder care with planned withdrawals.

Understanding the Charts:

Our calculator provides two powerful visualizations:

Portfolio Balance Chart: Shows how your investment grows during the accumulation phase (green) and depletes during the withdrawal phase (red). This helps you understand if your corpus will last through the entire withdrawal period.

Inflation-Adjusted Withdrawals: Displays how your monthly withdrawal amount increases each year due to inflation, ensuring your purchasing power remains constant.

Smart Planning Considerations:

Why Use Our Withdrawal Calculator?

Unlike simple calculators that ignore inflation or investment growth during withdrawals, our tool provides a realistic projection of your financial needs. The calculator accounts for the fact that while you're withdrawing money, your remaining corpus continues to grow, and your withdrawal needs increase with inflation.
