About this calculator

Enter your buy price, sell price and quantity to see each charge, your net profit after all of them, and how far the price must move just to break even. It covers equity delivery, intraday, futures and options, on NSE or BSE.

How to use it

  1. Choose the trade type and exchange.
  2. Enter buy price, sell price and quantity.
  3. Choose how your broker charges.
  4. Read the charges and net profit.

The formula

Net profit = (sell − buy) × quantity − (brokerage + STT + exchange charge + SEBI fee + stamp duty + GST + DP charge)
STT
0.1% on buy and sell for delivery; 0.025% on sell for intraday; 0.05% on sell for futures; 0.15% of premium on sell for options
Stamp duty
on the buy side: 0.015% delivery, 0.003% intraday and options, 0.002% futures
GST
18% on brokerage, exchange and SEBI charges

Worked example

Buy 100 shares at ₹1,000 and sell at ₹1,100 on delivery (NSE)

  1. Turnover = ₹2,10,000; STT = ₹210, the largest charge.
  2. Total charges = ₹248.20, so the net profit is ₹9,751.80 of the ₹10,000 gain.

What the result means

On delivery trades STT is by far the biggest cost. On intraday and F&O trades with small price moves, charges can take most of the profit, which is why the break-even figure matters.

Assumptions

  • Statutory rates in force from 1 April 2026, when STT on futures and options was raised.
  • The whole quantity is bought and sold in one order each.

Limitations

  • Your broker’s own brokerage, DP charge and other fees may differ: use the custom options.
  • Income tax on the profit is not included.
