How the brokerage calculator works
Every trade carries several charges on top of the price. The calculator adds them for a purchase followed by a sale of the same quantity:
- Brokerage: what your broker charges, either a flat amount per executed order (counted twice, once for each side) or a percentage of turnover.
- STT: 0.1% of turnover on delivery trades (both sides) or 0.025% of the sale value on intraday trades.
- Stamp duty: 0.015% (delivery) or 0.003% (intraday) of the purchase value.
- Exchange charges: 0.00297% of turnover at the NSE cash-segment rate used here.
- SEBI fee: ₹10 per crore of turnover.
- GST: 18% on brokerage, exchange charges and the SEBI fee, but not on STT or stamp duty.
GST applies to brokerage, exchange transaction charges and SEBI fees, not to STT or stamp duty. Exchange charges and brokerage plans differ by exchange and broker; use your own broker's charge sheet for exact figures. Derivatives charges are not covered here.
Worked example
100 shares bought at ₹500 and sold at ₹510 as an intraday trade with ₹20 flat brokerage per order gives a turnover of ₹1,01,000. Total charges come to ₹65.11, of which brokerage is ₹40.00, STT ₹12.75 and GST ₹7.76. The gross gain of ₹1,000.00 becomes a net gain of ₹934.89, and the price has to move about ₹0.65 per share just to cover the charges.

Frequently asked questions
Which charges does this calculator include?
Brokerage, STT, stamp duty, NSE exchange transaction charges, the SEBI turnover fee and GST, plus any other charge you type in. It covers equity delivery and intraday trades, not futures or options.
Why does my broker's contract note show different numbers?
Brokerage plans, exchange charges (NSE or BSE) and rounding differ by broker. Use your broker's own charge sheet for exact figures; this calculator shows how the charges are built up.
Is GST charged on STT?
No. GST applies to brokerage, exchange transaction charges and the SEBI fee. STT and stamp duty are government levies outside GST.
