FAQs
What charges are included in this brokerage calculator?
All standard charges: brokerage, STT (Securities Transaction Tax), exchange transaction charges, stamp duty, SEBI charges, and 18% GST on applicable components. Calculations match Zerodha/Groww/Upstox flat-fee structure.
How is intraday brokerage different from delivery?
Most discount brokers charge ₹0 brokerage for delivery (equity holding overnight) but ₹20 or 0.03% (whichever lower) per executed order for intraday. STT is also lower on intraday (only sell side at 0.025%) vs delivery (0.1% both sides).
Why is my actual P/L lower than the gross profit?
STT, exchange charges, stamp duty, SEBI fees, and GST eat into your gross profit. For small trades these can wipe out gains. The breakeven price shown is what you need to clear just to recover all costs.
Are full-service broker charges higher?
Yes, significantly. ICICI Direct, HDFC Securities, Kotak Securities charge 0.30–0.55% per side as brokerage — typically 10–25× more than discount brokers on the same trade.
