Calculate brokerage charges, taxes, and total trading costs before placing a trade.
*A DP charge of ₹15 + GST per scrip applies to all stock sale transactions, irrespective of quantity.
A brokerage calculator reveals your true trading costs before you take a position — turning guesswork into precision.
It calculates precisely how many points a stock or options contract must move in your favour just to cover all your trading costs.
STT, Stamp Duty, and 18% GST scale with your total turnover. The calculator stops these percentage-based taxes from quietly eating your margins.
Dynamically shows the cost difference between Equity Intraday (lower STT, no DP charges) vs Equity Delivery (higher STT, flat DP charges on sell).
When buying or selling shares on the Indian stock market through platforms like the NSE or BSE, the total cost of trading goes far beyond the base commission charged by your broker. Understanding statutory levies like the Securities Transaction Tax (STT), GST, Stamp Duty, and DP charges is vital to calculating your actual net take-home profit.
Following the latest regulatory changes in FY 2026-27, statutory tax slabs have been adjusted — most notably STT rates on derivatives (Futures and Options), increased to regulate excessive retail speculative volumes. A real-time calculator incorporating these revised rates ensures traders are not caught off guard by hidden costs.
Complete transparency — here is the exact step-by-step mathematical logic behind every number.
