Stock Brokerage Calculator
Stock Brokerage Calculator
The Stock Brokerage Calculator estimates what an equity trade really costs in India after brokerage, STT, exchange fees, SEBI charges, stamp duty, and GST—then shows net profit or loss.
Use it before delivery or intraday trades so a small price move is not wiped out by round-trip charges, especially on low quantities with flat ₹20 brokerage.
What Are Trading Charges?
Besides the share price difference, every trade can attract broker fees and statutory levies. Discount brokers often use a flat fee per order, while STT and other charges depend on turnover and segment (delivery vs intraday).
Your broker contract note lists the exact break-up. This calculator uses common educational approximations so you can plan before you click buy/sell.
What is a Brokerage Calculator?
Enter trade details and see cost + net P&L. Key inputs:
- Trade type – Equity delivery or intraday.
- Buy / Sell price – Per share.
- Quantity – Number of shares.
- Brokerage per order – Flat fee (e.g. ₹20) applied on buy and sell.
How Can a Brokerage Calculator Help You?
- True P&L – See profit after costs, not just price difference × qty.
- Avoid tiny-trade traps – Flat fees hurt small lots.
- Compare delivery vs intraday – STT assumptions differ by segment.
- Broker fee check – Match your plan’s per-order brokerage.
- Faster decisions – Instant charge break-down without spreadsheets.
How to Use the Brokerage Calculator?
- Choose Equity Delivery or Intraday.
- Enter Buy Price, Sell Price, and Quantity.
- Set Brokerage per Order (flat).
- Review buy/sell value, gross P&L, each charge line, and net P&L.
How Are Net P&L and Charges Estimated?
Typical charge stack modelled:
- Brokerage on buy + sell (flat × 2)
- STT (delivery vs intraday sell-side style rates)
- Exchange transaction charges
- SEBI turnover fees
- Approximate stamp charges
- GST @ 18% on brokerage + exchange + SEBI
Always verify with your live contract note—rates and broker extras (DP, call & trade) can differ.
Worked example
Buy 100 shares at ₹100, sell at ₹105, brokerage ₹20/order, delivery segment: gross profit is ₹500 before costs. After brokerage (₹40), STT, exchange/SEBI/stamp, and GST, net profit is lower—sometimes much lower on smaller trades. Run the numbers before you size the order.
