Gross profit on your broker's order terminal is not what reaches your bank account. Using this stock brokerage calculator before placing orders helps you account for government taxes, exchange transaction costs, and broker commissions:
Select Equity Delivery for overnight holdings or Equity Intraday for same-day square-offs. STT and stamp duty rates differ sharply between the two segments.
Input your planned buy price, expected sell price, and quantity of shares to instantly calculate total turnover and gross profit.
Choose between zero-brokerage delivery models (e.g. Zerodha or Dhan style), flat ₹20 models (e.g. Groww or 5paisa), percentage fees, or custom rates.
Review your exact breakeven price to determine how many ticks or points the stock must rise to cover all statutory transaction friction.
All stock market trades in India are subject to statutory charges established by SEBI, the Ministry of Finance, and state governments. These statutory deductions apply uniformly regardless of which broker you use:
| Charge Name | Equity Delivery | Equity Intraday | Levied By / Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brokerage | ₹0 to ₹20 or 0.1%–0.5% | ₹20 or 0.03%–0.05% | Stock Broker |

| Exchange Transaction Charges | NSE: 0.00297% | BSE: 0.00375% | NSE: 0.00297% | BSE: 0.00375% | NSE / BSE (Oct 2024 revised) |
| SEBI Turnover Charges | ₹10 per Crore (0.0001%) | ₹10 per Crore (0.0001%) | SEBI Regulatory Fee |
| GST (Goods & Services Tax) | 18% on (Brokerage + Txn + SEBI) | 18% on (Brokerage + Txn + SEBI) | Govt of India (Excludes STT) |
| Stamp Duty | 0.015% on Buy turnover only | 0.003% on Buy turnover only | Indian Stamp Act (July 2020) |

To illustrate how an equity delivery brokerage calculator computes every statutory layer, consider buying 500 shares at ₹500.00 and selling at ₹520.00 on the NSE via a zero-brokerage delivery discount broker (such as Zerodha or Dhan):
If you execute this trade as an intraday position instead, STT drops to 0.025% on the sell side only (₹65), stamp duty drops to 0.003% on buy (₹7.50), and broker intraday fee applies (₹20 buy + ₹20 sell = ₹40), giving you quick clarity with our intraday brokerage calculator mode.
Brokerage is the fee charged by your stock broker to execute buy and sell orders. Most Indian discount brokers (such as Zerodha, Groww, Dhan, and Upstox) charge ₹0 for equity delivery trades and a flat ₹20 or 0.03%–0.05% per executed order (whichever is lower) for intraday equity trades. Full-service brokers charge a percentage of turnover (typically 0.10% to 0.50%).
In Equity Delivery, you take ownership of shares overnight in your Demat account; Securities Transaction Tax (STT) is 0.1% on both buy and sell sides, Stamp Duty is 0.015% on the buy side, and DP charges apply upon selling. In Equity Intraday, positions are squared off within the same trading session; STT is 0.025% on the sell side only, Stamp Duty is 0.003% on the buy side, and no DP charges apply.
STT is mandated by the Government of India. For equity delivery, it is 0.1% on purchase turnover and 0.1% on sale turnover. For equity intraday, it is 0.025% on sale turnover only. Stamp Duty is governed by the Indian Stamp Act and applies strictly to the buy turnover: 0.015% for delivery trades and 0.003% for intraday trades.
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is levied at standard 18% strictly on service fees: Brokerage + Exchange Transaction Charges + SEBI Turnover Fees. GST is NOT levied on total trade turnover or on sovereign statutory taxes like STT and Stamp Duty.
Depository Participant (DP) charges are flat fees charged by depositories (CDSL or NSDL) and your broker whenever shares are debited from your Demat account on equity delivery sales. They typically range from ₹12.50 to ₹18.50 + 18% GST (approx. ₹14.75 to ₹21.83) per scrip per day, regardless of the quantity sold.
The breakeven price is the exact sale price per share required to cover your purchase cost plus all associated brokerage, STT, exchange fees, SEBI charges, stamp duty, and GST. Selling at or above this breakeven price ensures you do not incur a net loss after all deductions.
While individual broker calculators like the Zerodha brokerage calculator, Groww brokerage calculator, or Dhan brokerage calculator only calculate fees for their respective proprietary platforms, TradeVek's free brokerage calculator allows Indian traders to simulate delivery and intraday charges across multiple broker pricing models (Zero Delivery, Flat ₹20, percentage, or custom) alongside accurate statutory SEBI and exchange schedules.
