How this calculation works
Estimate the net result of buying and selling the same quantity of cash-equity shares after brokerage and the modelled levies. Delivery and intraday use different STT and stamp-duty treatment. The input called other levies is your allowance for additional turnover-based charges, so this is not a live broker tariff or a derivatives margin calculator.
Worked example
This example uses illustrative inputs. Your current result is shown above.
Choose delivery: buy 100 shares at ₹500 and sell at ₹550, with 0.1% brokerage capped at ₹20 per order, 0.003% other levies and 18% GST. Gross profit is ₹5,000. Brokerage ₹40 + STT ₹105 + stamp duty ₹7.50 + other levies ₹3.15 + GST ₹7.767 gives ₹163.42 total charges and ₹4,836.58 net profit after final rounding.
Assumptions and limits
- There is one buy order and one sell order for the same quantity; the brokerage cap applies separately to each.
- The cash-equity STT and stamp-duty rates embedded in this model are used; other levies and GST are user inputs.
- DP charges, financing interest, slippage, income tax and broker-specific minimum or rounding rules are excluded.
Questions people ask
Does zero brokerage mean a cost-free trade?
No. STT, stamp duty and any entered turnover levies can still apply, and costs outside this model may appear on the contract note.
Why does the cap apply twice?
The round trip has a buy order and a sell order. Each order’s percentage brokerage is compared with the cap separately. Multiple executed orders need their own brokerage calculations.
Can I enter futures or options trades?
Not for a reliable charge estimate. This calculator’s fixed levy rules are for cash-equity delivery or intraday trades, not derivative contracts.
