Brokerage Calculator: what it calculates.
Every share trade carries charges beyond the price: brokerage, Securities Transaction Tax (STT), exchange transaction charges, the SEBI fee, stamp duty and GST. On small or frequent trades these can take a large share of the profit. This calculator estimates them and shows your net profit or loss.
The brokerage calculator takes the buy price, sell price, quantity, your broker's percentage and the market segment, applies the charge rates used here for that segment and returns turnover, each charge and the net profit or loss.
How the calculation works.
Net P&L = (Sell price − Buy price) × Quantity − brokerage − STT − exchange charges − SEBI fee − stamp duty − GST
- Turnover = (Buy price + Sell price) × Quantity; brokerage is your rate on turnover.
- STT used here: delivery 0.1% on buy and sell; intraday 0.025% on sell; futures 0.02% on sell; options 0.1% on sell premium.
- Stamp duty is charged on the buy side; the SEBI fee is ₹10 per crore of turnover.
- GST is 18% on brokerage, exchange charges and the SEBI fee. These rates change through official circulars.
Worked example. Buying 100 shares at ₹1,000 and selling at ₹1,100 for delivery, with 0.03% brokerage, gives turnover of ₹2.1 lakh. Brokerage is ₹63, STT ₹210, exchange and SEBI charges about ₹6.45, stamp duty ₹15 and GST about ₹12.50, so the ₹10,000 gross profit becomes about ₹9,693.

Common questions.
Are market charges the same for every trade?
No. STT, exchange charges, stamp duty and related levies differ by segment and can change through official circulars.
What is a Brokerage Calculator?
It is an educational tool that applies the disclosed trading-cost estimate method to the assumptions you enter.
Are the results guaranteed?
No. Results are estimates, not forecasts, approvals, quotations or guarantees.
Why should I change the assumptions?
Testing conservative and optimistic inputs exposes uncertainty instead of hiding it behind one number.
Does it include tax and fees?
Only when a tax or fee is shown as an explicit input or result. Otherwise it is excluded.
How accurate is the calculator?
The mathematics follows the stated methodology, while real outcomes depend on rates, timing, rules, fees and circumstances.
Can I use this result as financial advice?
No. Use it for education and scenario comparison, then verify decisions with official documents or a qualified professional.
Why is inflation shown?
Inflation translates a future amount into approximate present-day purchasing power. The default 6% is editable and is not a forecast.
How often should I recalculate?
Recalculate when rates, income, contributions, rules, goals or repayment terms change.
Can the result differ from a bank or platform?
Yes. Institutions may use different compounding dates, rounding, charges and eligibility rules.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Calculations run locally in your browser and the input values are not sent to a calculation server.
