What this calculator answers
A 50-share delivery trade bought at ₹1,000 and sold at ₹1,050 with ₹20 per-order brokerage costs ₹179.14 in charges, leaving net profit of ₹2,320.86 — and the stock has to move ₹3.58 a share just to cover them. Enter your trade to split brokerage from the statutory stack and see net P&L.
How it is calculated
Per trade it adds brokerage (₹ per order, charged on both sides) to STT, the exchange transaction charge, the SEBI fee, stamp duty, the ₹15.34 DP charge on delivery sells and 18% GST on brokerage + exchange + SEBI + DP. Break-even per share is total charges ÷ quantity.
NSE rates, with STT per the Finance Act 2026 (delivery 0.1% both sides, intraday 0.025% on sell, futures 0.05% on sell, options 0.15% on premium). Estimates, not a contract note.
Common questions
Which charges are the same at every broker?
STT, exchange transaction charges, the SEBI fee, stamp duty, DP charges and GST are statutory, so they are identical across brokers. Only the brokerage row changes between them.
Why does my break-even move when I change quantity?
Most statutory charges scale with turnover, but the DP charge is fixed per scrip on a delivery sell, so a larger order spreads that fixed cost across more shares and lowers the break-even per share.
Is brokerage charged on both buy and sell?
Yes in this model — the per-order brokerage is counted on each side, so a round trip pays it twice. At a ₹0-delivery broker only the statutory stack applies.
