Comparing brokerage charges across multiple Indian stock brokers manually can take hours and still miss hidden fees. This calculator does it in seconds.
Every trade you place on the NSE or BSE attracts more than just brokerage. Government levies and exchange fees apply regardless of which broker you use, while the brokerage itself varies by platform and trade type. Here's a breakdown of each component this calculator accounts for.
The fee charged by your broker for executing a trade. Discount brokers like Zerodha, Groww, Angel One and Upstox typically charge a flat fee (often capped at ₹20 per order) or zero brokerage on delivery trades. Full-service brokers like ICICI Direct and HDFC Sky usually charge a percentage of trade value.
A direct tax levied by the Government of India on every exchange trade. For intraday equity, STT applies only on the sell side at 0.025%. For delivery trades, it applies on both buy and sell sides at 0.1% each. For options contracts, STT is charged on the sell-side premium value at 0.0625%.
A small fee charged by NSE or BSE for using their trading infrastructure, calculated as a percentage of total turnover. Rates differ slightly between NSE and BSE and between equity and F&O segments.
A nominal regulatory charge levied by the Securities and Exchange Board of India on total turnover, currently set at ₹10 per crore (0.0001%) across all brokers and segments.
A state government levy charged only on the buy-side value of a transaction. Rates vary by trade type — typically 0.003% for intraday and F&O, and 0.015% for delivery trades.
An 18% Goods and Services Tax applied on the sum of brokerage and exchange transaction charges (and SEBI fees, where applicable).
