How the Brokerage Calculator works
Brokerage is only one of six charges on every trade. STT (Securities Transaction Tax) is the biggest for delivery trades; exchange transaction charges, the SEBI fee and stamp duty are tiny percentages of turnover; and 18% GST applies to brokerage and exchange charges.
The break-even price is what you must sell at to recover all charges — useful for intraday, where a few paise matter.
Net P&L = (Sell − Buy) × Qty − [ Brokerage + STT + Exchange charges + SEBI fee + Stamp duty + DP charge + GST ]
Worked example
- Segment: Delivery
- Exchange: NSE
- Quantity: 100
- Buy price: ₹1,000
- Sell price: ₹1,050
Buying 100 shares at ₹1,000 and selling at ₹1,050 on NSE with zero delivery brokerage: gross profit ₹5,000, STT ₹205, exchange charge about ₹6, stamp duty ₹15, DP charge ₹15.34 plus GST — roughly ₹245 of charges, leaving about ₹4,755 net.
