DETAILS
This section explains what the calculator does, what goes into the result, and how to interpret the output so you can apply it confidently.
This calculator turns a few key inputs into a clear output you can act on — a number that traders and investors commonly use for planning and decision-making.
Use it to compare scenarios quickly and to understand the trade-offs behind the final result.
Treat the output as a planning number. Small changes in inputs (time, rate, price, quantity, risk, or cashflows) can change the outcome meaningfully — so keep assumptions realistic.
If the tool returns multiple outputs, focus on the ones that drive decisions (e.g., net result, breakeven, or risk-adjusted value), not just the biggest number.

HOW IT WORKS
Choose Options, Futures, Equity Intraday, or Equity Delivery. Each segment has different tax rates and charge structures applied automatically.
Enter your gross profit or loss and the total buy+sell turnover for the period. This determines your actual charge impact based on turnover.

FAQ
Trading incurs multiple layers of costs: brokerage, STT, exchange charges, SEBI charges, stamp duty, GST on charges, and finally income tax on the remaining profit. For high-frequency traders or options traders, these charges can consume 30-50% or more of gross profits if not managed carefully.
Gross P&L is your profit/loss calculated purely from price difference × quantity — ignoring all costs. Net P&L is what actually hits your bank account after all transaction charges and income tax are deducted. The gap between the two is what most traders underestimate.
Key ways to reduce costs: (1) Use flat-fee discount brokers (₹20/order cap). (2) Avoid excessive churning — each trade doubles your charge exposure. (3) For long-term investing, use delivery which has ₹0 brokerage. (4) Time your expiry trades to avoid high STT on in-the-money options at expiry.
This calculator gives a close estimate using standard charge rates. For ITR filing, always use your actual broker statement for exact figures. Different brokers may have slightly different exchange charge tiers, and state-specific stamp duty rates may vary.
