How this is calculated

Formula

balanceₘ = (balanceₘ₋₁ − W) × (1 + i)

W
= the month’s withdrawal, taken at the start of the month
i
= monthly rate = annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100

With your numbers

  1. 1Monthly ratei = r ÷ 12 ÷ 1008.0% ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.006667
  2. 2First month(corpus − W) × (1 + i)(₹50,00,000 − ₹30,000) × 1.006667 = ₹50,03,133
  3. 3Repeated until a withdrawal can no longer be paid in fullW stays levelThe corpus lasts over 100 years.

  • This is the SIP formula run backwards: with a level withdrawal, the balance after n months is the corpus grown for n months minus what a SIP of the same amount would have grown to.
  • Tax is not deducted. Withdrawals from a mutual fund are part capital, part gain; only the gain is taxed, at the rate for its holding period.
