How Does the Brokerage Calculator Work?

The calculator sums the brokerage fee and all statutory government taxes based on the buy and sell prices, share quantity, and selected segment rules.

Total Cost = Brokerage + STT + Transaction Charges + GST + SEBI Fee + Stamp Duty

Brokerage: Fee charged by the stock broker for executing the order

STT: Securities Transaction Tax levied by the government

GST: Goods and Services Tax (18% on brokerage + transaction charges + SEBI fee)

Charges: Transaction fee charged by stock exchanges (NSE/BSE)

If you buy 100 shares of a stock at ₹1,000 and sell them at ₹1,100, the buy value is ₹1,00,000 and sell value is ₹1,10,000. The calculator determines the brokerage (e.g., flat ₹20 or 0.05%), STT, exchange charges, and GST to show you your exact net profit after deducting these fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brokerage is the fee charged by stockbrokers for executing buy/sell orders. Discount brokers charge ₹20 flat per order or 0.03-0.05% (whichever is lower). Traditional brokers charge 0.25-0.5% per trade. Brokerage applies to both buy and sell sides.

STT is a government tax on securities transactions. Rates: Equity Delivery - 0.1% on both buy and sell; Intraday - 0.025% on sell only; Futures - 0.0125% on sell; Options - 0.0625% on sell (on premium value). STT is non-refundable.

Intraday trades settle on the same day without actual delivery of shares. STT for intraday is only 0.025% on sell vs 0.1% on both sides for delivery. Also, stamp duty is lower (0.003% vs 0.015%). However, intraday trading has higher risk.

Exchange charges are fees paid to NSE/BSE for using their trading platform. NSE equity: 0.00345%, Options: 0.053%, Futures: 0.002%, Currency: 0.0009%. These are uniform across all brokers as they're paid to exchanges.

GST at 18% applies on brokerage + exchange transaction charges + SEBI turnover fees. It doesn't apply on STT or stamp duty. Example: If brokerage is ₹20 and exchange charges are ₹10, GST = 18% of ₹30 = ₹5.40.

Stamp duty is a state government charge on securities transactions, applicable only on buy side. Rates: Equity delivery 0.015%, Intraday 0.003%, Futures 0.002%, Options 0.003%. Maharashtra has the highest stamp duty rates.

Breakeven = Total Charges ÷ Quantity. Example: If total charges are ₹100 for 500 shares, you need 0.20 points (₹0.20 per share) movement to breakeven. For a ₹100 stock, it's 0.2% move just to cover costs.

Options have higher exchange transaction charges (0.053% vs 0.00345% for equity). STT is 0.0625% on premium at sell. For multiple lot trading, charges add up quickly. However, premium values are usually smaller than equity values.

Most discount brokers (Zerodha, Groww, Upstox) charge ₹20 flat per order with similar other charges. For high-volume traders, some offer zero brokerage on delivery. Compare total charges including hidden fees like DP charges for delivery trades.

Depository Participant (DP) charges are for holding shares in demat account. Typically ₹15.93 (₹13.50 + GST) per sell transaction for CDSL. These apply only to delivery trades, not intraday. Some brokers absorb these costs.

For ₹20 flat brokerage, trade at least ₹67,000 per order to match 0.03% rate (₹20 ÷ 0.03%). For smaller amounts, percentage-based brokerage is cheaper. For ₹10,000 trade, 0.03% = ₹3, much less than ₹20 flat.

Common hidden charges: 1) DP charges on delivery sell, 2) Call & Trade charges (₹50 for broker-assisted orders), 3) SMS/email charges, 4) Physical contract note charges, 5) Pledge creation charges, 6) Account maintenance fees.
