FD vs. Mutual Fund Comparison Calculator Fixed Deposits and Mutual Funds are the two most common investment choices for Indian retail investors. However, their taxation is fundamentally different: FD interest is taxed as income every year, while MF gains (equity) are taxed only at redemption.

SWP Calculator (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) allows an investor to withdraw a fixed amount from a mutual fund corpus at regular intervals while the remaining corpus continues to earn returns. This is the mirror image of SIP. The calculator answers two questions: (A) Given a corpus and withdrawal amount, how long will the money last? (B) Given a corpus and desired duration, what is the maximum sustainable monthly withdrawal?
