NSE Profit & Brokerage Calculator
Calculate precise net profit for Indian equity trades including all statutory taxes and SEBI charges.
Understanding Indian Stock Market Charges
Trading on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) or Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) involves several charges beyond just the buy and sell price. These charges can significantly impact your net profit, especially for high-volume traders.
1. Securities Transaction Tax (STT)
STT is a direct tax levied by the Government of India on every purchase and sale of securities. For Equity Delivery, it is 0.1% on both the buy and sell sides. For Intraday, it is only 0.025% on the sell side.
2. Brokerage
Most modern discount brokers like Zerodha, Groww, and Upstox offer zero brokerage for equity delivery. For intraday, they typically charge a flat ₹20 or 0.03% (whichever is lower).
3. Other Statutory Fees
- Exchange Transaction Charges: Levied by NSE (0.00322%) and BSE.
- SEBI Charges: A flat ₹10 per crore (0.0001%) charged by the regulator.
- Stamp Duty: Charged by the state government (0.015% for delivery buy side).
- GST: 18% Goods and Services Tax on the sum of Brokerage and Transaction charges.
Pro Tip: The Breakeven Price
Always check the breakeven price in our calculator. It tells you the minimum price you need to sell at just to recover your taxes and fees. Even a profitable "looking" trade can be a net loss after all charges are deducted.
