See your exact brokerage, STT, exchange charges, and GST before you place the trade — updated for the April 2026 STT rates.
Use the calculator below to enter your buy price, sell price, and quantity for Equity Intraday, Futures, or Options — it instantly breaks down brokerage, STT, exchange transaction charges, SEBI charges, stamp duty, GST, and your final net P&L after all charges, using the rates in effect since the April 2026 Budget changes.
Trading charges are the combined statutory and broker costs deducted from every trade — brokerage, STT, exchange transaction charges, SEBI turnover fees, stamp duty, and GST — and they apply whether the trade is profitable or not.
Most traders check their P&L before checking what the trade actually cost them to place. On paper a ₹1,000 gain looks clean — until STT, exchange charges, and GST quietly eat 15–20% of it on an options trade. This calculator does the full breakdown instantly, so you know the real number before you're staring at a contract note wondering where the rest of your profit went.
A contract note lumps six different charges into one final number. Knowing what each one is makes the total make sense instead of feeling like a mystery deduction.
What your broker charges per executed order — usually a flat fee (₹20 is common) regardless of trade size, charged once on entry and once on exit.
A government tax on the transaction value, charged automatically at execution. For options it's calculated on the premium value, not the strike value — and this is the charge that rose the most after the April 2026 Budget.
What NSE or BSE charges for executing the trade on their platform, applied on both the buy and sell legs.
A very small regulatory fee SEBI charges on total turnover — negligible per trade, but it's still a line on every contract note.
A state government levy charged only on the buy side, collected by the exchange at the time of trade.
18% charged on brokerage, exchange charges, and SEBI charges combined — not on STT or stamp duty, and not on your profit.
Options exchange transaction charges are calculated on the premium value, and that premium is usually a small fraction of the contract's actual notional value — which means the percentage-based charges look tiny but land on a much smaller base, making the effective cost per rupee of premium meaningfully higher than futures. This is part of why frequent, small-premium option trades erode returns faster than the raw P&L suggests — run the numbers above before repeating a setup you assume is "cheap" to execute.
Charges are only half the picture — the other half is whether your entries are systematic enough to be worth taking in the first place.
See Our Trading Courses →It uses NSE's currently published maximum exchange charges and the post-April-2026 statutory rates, which apply industry-wide. Brokerage itself varies by broker plan, which is why it's an editable field — enter your actual per-order brokerage for a precise number.
The Union Budget 2026 raised STT on options premium from the earlier rate to 0.15% on the sell side, effective 1 April 2026, as part of a broader revision to F&O transaction taxes.
No. GST is charged only on brokerage, exchange transaction charges, and SEBI charges — never on STT, stamp duty, or your actual trading profit.
Many brokers waive brokerage on delivery or specific segments, but STT, exchange charges, SEBI fees, and stamp duty are statutory — they apply regardless of what your broker charges for brokerage.
Charges aren't optional and they don't care whether the trade wins or loses — they're deducted either way. Run the numbers before the trade, not after, especially on options where the premium-based charges and the higher April 2026 STT rate combine to take a bigger bite than most traders expect. A setup only counts as "profitable" once it clears this line, not before it.
