How to use this calculator
Each step names a control you will find on screen above.
- Segment
Delivery or intraday. The charges are genuinely different: STT on delivery is levied on both sides, intraday only on the sell, and delivery adds a DP charge that intraday does not.
- Trade value
The rupee size of one side of the trade. The breakdown updates for every component.
- Read the breakdown, not the total
Each line is a separate charge with a separate rule — STT, exchange transaction charges, SEBI turnover fee, stamp duty, GST and, on delivery sells, the DP charge. Knowing which is which is how you spot a broker adding one that should not be there.
- Read the break-even move
The bottom figure is the percentage the stock must rise before you are square. On small intraday trades this is the number that decides whether the strategy can work at all.
Worked example: A ₹50,000 delivery buy, later sold
You buy ₹50,000 of a stock for delivery and sell the whole lot some months later at roughly the same value. Zero-brokerage delivery, so brokerage itself is nil.
