Charges on a trade squared off the same day, with the price it has to reach to break even
Estimates only, not financial advice. What you type stays on your device. Checked against sources on 30 Oct 2026.An intraday trade pays STT on the sell leg only, at 0.025%, which is a quarter of what delivery pays on each side. What it does pay twice is brokerage, and on a capped plan the cap applies to each executed order rather than to the round trip.
Rates and rules read from the sources listed on this page (the earliest on 30 Oct 2026); they may have changed since.
The page opens on Equity intraday with the Discount broker, capped percentage plan, buying at 100 and selling at 101 for 1,000 shares.
Replace the Buy price, Sell price and Quantity with your trade.
If your broker charges differently, pick another plan chip or edit Per cent of each order and Cap per order.
Read Total charges on this round trip and the price you must sell at to break even.
The useful number is the last one on the page: the price the sell has to reach before the trade has made anything at all.
Exactly one number in the cost of a trade belongs to your broker. Every other one is set by the government or the exchange and is identical for everybody. This page keeps the two apart, because confusing them is how people compare brokers badly.
Brokerage is yours to enter. A discount broker charges nothing on delivery and twenty rupees or 0.03% per order, whichever is lower, elsewhere. A bank broker charges several times that with no cap. Neither is printed here as fact: named starting shapes are offered, every field is editable, and the figure in the total is the one on your own tariff sheet.
Not the total, but the break-even sell price: how far the price has to move before the trade has made anything. On a small trade with a flat fee that distance is startling, and it is the honest argument for fewer, larger trades.
The rest of the article, and all 7 questions about Brokerage Calculator, are on the Brokerage Calculator page.
On a round trip of one lakh each way with free brokerage, roughly 233 rupees: 210 of securities transaction tax at 0.1% on both legs, 15 of stamp duty on the buy, 6.45 of exchange transaction charges, 1.20 of GST and 21 paise of SEBI turnover fee. Brokerage and the depository fee come on top.
Segment chuniye, buy price, sell price aur quantity daaliye, aur apne broker ka rate type kar dijiye; baaki charges kaise lagte hain wo page khud jod deta hai. STT, exchange charge, SEBI fee, stamp duty and GST are fixed for everybody, so only the brokerage line is yours to set.
Break-even is the price the sell has to reach before the trade has made anything, once every charge is paid. On a small trade with a flat fee per order the distance is surprisingly large, which is the clearest argument against trading in tiny quantities. The figure is shown under the total here.
The taxes do, because STT, stamp duty, the SEBI fee and GST are the same wherever the trade is executed. The exchange charge is not: each exchange sets its own. The figure here is NSE's, from its circular of 27 February 2026. BSE's equity cash charge is supported by no BSE notice we could find, so enter your own.
Rates and rules change; check the source before you rely on a figure.
