Calculate precise net profit for Bangladesh equity trades including all statutory taxes and DSE transaction charges.
Investing in the Bangladesh share market involves various costs that go beyond the purchase price of a stock. To trade effectively, you must account for brokerage commissions and government-mandated taxes.
Unlike some global markets, there is no fixed "zero brokerage" standard in Bangladesh yet. Brokerage houses typically charge between 0.25% to 0.50% of the total trade value. This is often negotiable for high-volume traders.
The Government of Bangladesh levies an Advance Income Tax (AIT) of 0.05% on the total value of share transactions. This is collected at the source by the exchange and the brokerage house.
The Dhaka Stock Exchange charges a small transaction fee, often called the "Laga charge," which is currently 0.025% of the traded value for both buy and sell sides.
As of the 2024-25 fiscal year, individual investors are exempt from Capital Gains Tax on listed securities for profits up to Tk 50 lakh. Any profit exceeding this threshold is subject to a 15% CGT.
In Bangladesh, trading costs are relatively high (total round-trip cost is often >0.8%). Use our calculator to identify your "Breakeven Price" — the minimum price you must sell at just to cover the combined cost of brokerage and taxes.
