Brokerage Calculator: Calculate Your Trading Costs & Charges
Trading Costs You Don’t See on the Buy/Sell Screen
When you buy or sell stocks, you pay more than just brokerage. STT, exchange charges, GST, SEBI turnover fee, and stamp duty all add up. On frequent trades, these hidden costs can eat 1–2% of your capital annually.
All Trading Charges Explained
| Charge | Equity Delivery | Intraday | F&O |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brokerage (Zerodha) | ₹0 | ₹20 or 0.03% | ₹20/order |

| Exchange txn charges | 0.00345% | 0.00345% | 0.05% |
| GST (on brokerage+txn) | 18% | 18% | 18% |

| Stamp duty | 0.015% (buy) | 0.003% (buy) | 0.003% (buy) |
Impact on Returns
A ₹1 lakh equity delivery trade costs about ₹115 in total charges (Zerodha). An intraday trade of the same size costs about ₹45. But 100 intraday trades/month = ₹4,500/month = ₹54,000/year in charges alone.
