Estimate your actual net profit or loss on a stock trade after deducting brokerage, Securities Transaction Tax (STT), exchange charges, stamp duty, SEBI fees and GST.
About the Brokerage Calculator
On small trades, charges can swallow a surprisingly large share of the gross profit. A ₹100 gain on a ₹10,000 intraday trade (1%) can be entirely eaten by charges of ₹80–90 — a 0.9% effective cost on the trade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are charges the same for delivery and intraday?
No. STT is much lower for intraday (sell side only at 0.025%) vs delivery (0.1% on both sides). But discount brokers often charge zero brokerage for delivery.
Why does my profit shrink so much after charges?
Statutory charges — STT, exchange fees, stamp duty, SEBI levy — apply on every trade regardless of profit. On small positions, these add up to 0.2–0.5% per trade.
