How to Calculate S W R

What is S W R?

A safe withdrawal rate (SWR) calculator determines how much can be withdrawn annually from a retirement portfolio without running out of money. The "4% rule" — backed by the Trinity Study — suggests that withdrawing 4% in year 1 and adjusting for inflation has historically sustained a 30-year retirement. Lower SWRs (3–3.5%) are safer for longer retirements.
