CSE Profit & Loss Calculator

Trading on the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE)

The Chittagong Stock Exchange is the second-largest stock exchange in Bangladesh. While it has lower trading volume than the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), it remains a vital part of the country's capital market infrastructure.

Fee Structure for CSE Trades

The cost of trading on the CSE is almost identical to the DSE, comprising two main components:

• Brokerage Commission: Charged by your broker for executing the trade. The industry standard is between 0.4% and 0.5%.
• Advance Income Tax (AIT): A government tax of 0.05% on the total sell value of the shares. This is deducted automatically by the exchange.

Calculating Net Profit

To find your actual profit, you must subtract all fees from your gross gain.
Net Profit = (Selling Price - Buying Price) × Quantity - (Buy Brokerage + Sell Brokerage + AIT)

Why use a dedicated CSE Calculator?

Even though the logic is similar to DSE, having a separate calculator for CSE helps traders keep their records organized, especially if they use different brokers for the two exchanges. It also allows you to account for potential variations in brokerage rates between different brokerage houses in Chittagong vs. Dhaka.

Break-even Analysis

The Break-even Price is the minimum price you must sell your shares at just to cover your costs. Because you pay brokerage twice (buy and sell) and AIT once (sell), your selling price must be significantly higher than your buying price just to reach zero profit.
