In short: Brokerage Calculator
Buying 100 shares at ₹500 and selling at ₹550 gives a gross profit of ₹5,000.00. Charges of ₹153.47 leave ₹4,846.53. The trade only breaks even once the price reaches ₹501.47, which is the figure worth knowing before you place it.
What is Brokerage?
Brokerage is your broker's own fee on a trade, and it sits alongside statutory charges such as securities transaction tax, exchange fees, stamp duty and GST.
How is Brokerage calculated?
Work out the gross profit from the difference between the sell and buy prices times the quantity. Then add up the brokerage on both sides, the securities transaction tax, the exchange transaction charge, the SEBI turnover fee, stamp duty on the buy side, and GST on the brokerage and fees. Subtract the total.
- Sthe sell price for one share
- Bthe buy price for one share
- Qthe number of shares
- chargesbrokerage plus every statutory charge on the trade

How to use this brokerage calculator
- Choose delivery or intraday, because the taxes differ between them.
- Enter the buy price, the sell price and the quantity.
- Enter your broker's percentage and the cap it applies to each order.
- Read the net profit and the breakeven price before placing the trade.
Questions people ask
Why is the breakeven price above my buy price?
Because charges apply whether or not the trade makes money, so the price has to rise enough to cover them first. On a small trade with a flat brokerage the gap can be surprisingly wide. That is the figure to compare against your target.
Why are intraday charges different from delivery?
Securities transaction tax is charged on both sides of a delivery trade but only on the sell side of an intraday one, and at a different rate. Stamp duty also differs. Choosing the right segment here matters more than the brokerage itself.
Does this include depository charges?
No, it leaves them at zero, because they vary by broker and are charged per sell order rather than as a percentage. Add your own figure if your broker levies one. Everything else on the list is applied.
Is the brokerage cap per order or per trade?
Most discount brokers cap it per executed order, which is what this tool assumes. If your broker charges a pure percentage, set the cap to zero. Check the tariff sheet, because the cap is usually what decides the cost on a large trade.
