Brokerage Calculator

Estimate net profit or loss on a trade after brokerage, STT, exchange charges and GST.

About the Brokerage Calculator

The price difference between buy and sell is only your gross profit — brokerage, Securities Transaction Tax, exchange transaction charges, stamp duty, SEBI fees and GST all take a cut before anything reaches you. On small trades these charges can swallow a surprising share of the gain.

This calculator applies typical discount-broker charge structures for delivery and intraday equity trades to show your realistic net P&L.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my net profit lower than the price difference?

Statutory charges (STT, exchange fees, stamp duty, GST) apply on every trade regardless of profit, and brokerage applies per order.

Are charges different for intraday and delivery?

Yes — STT is much lower on intraday (sell-side only) but delivery trades at discount brokers often carry zero brokerage.
