About the Brokerage calculator

Stock trading brokerage calculator for the Indian markets. See your net profit & loss after broker commissions, NSE/BSE exchange fees, SEBI turnover, IPFT, STT/CTT, GST and stamp duty, with a per-charge breakdown and breakeven price for equity intraday, delivery, futures and options.

This stock brokerage calculator shows your true net profit or loss after every trading charge — broker commissions, exchange and clearing fees, regulatory charges and applicable taxes — so you know exactly what hits your account before you place the order. Switch country to model US equity trades (with SEC and FINRA TAF fees) or Indian equity intraday, delivery, futures and options on NSE or BSE (with STT, GST, SEBI turnover, IPFT and stamp duty). The breakeven price tells you the minimum exit price needed to cover every charge — essential for scalping and low-margin strategies.

How it works

  1. 1
    Pick the segment
    Choose what you're trading — US equity is supported today. Each segment uses a different rate card for commissions and regulatory fees.
  2. 2
    Enter buy & sell prices + quantity
    Type the price you bought at, the price you sold (or expect to sell) at, and the share count. Per-leg costs are computed automatically.
  3. 3
    Add your broker's commission
    Most US discount brokers (Robinhood, Schwab, Fidelity) charge $0 per trade. IBKR Pro charges per share. Set the rate to match your broker.
  4. 4
    Read net P&L and breakeven
    See gross profit, every charge in the breakdown, charges as a percent of profit, and the price you must sell at to break even.

Formula

Net P&L = (Sell − Buy) × Qty − (Brokerage + Exchange + Regulatory + Taxes)
Breakeven price = Buy + (Total charges ÷ Qty)

Worked example

100 shares bought at $50, sold at $52

On a US equity trade buying 100 shares at $50 and selling at $52 with a $0 commission broker, the gross profit is $200. Regulatory fees on the sell leg (SEC ~$0.0008/$1 traded + FINRA TAF $0.000166/share) total well under $1, leaving a net profit of about $199.91. The same trade on a per-share commission broker at $0.005/share would cost $1 round-trip, netting roughly $198.91. Breakeven sell price after charges: ~$50.01.

Frequently asked questions

  • Broker commission (per-trade or per-share, configurable), the SEC Section 31 transaction fee on the sell leg (~$0.0008 per $1 of sale value, rate updated periodically by the SEC), and the FINRA Trading Activity Fee (TAF, ~$0.000166 per share sold, capped at $8.30 per trade).

  • In the US, the SEC fee and FINRA TAF are charged only on the sell leg (the proceeds), not on the buy. Most retail brokers also pass these regulatory fees through at cost — they aren't broker profit.

  • The minimum sell price needed to fully cover all charges. Selling above it guarantees a non-negative outcome on the trade after every fee.

  • On small or low-margin trades, fixed broker commissions and per-share fees make up a large share of the gross. It's a useful check before placing scalpy or low-conviction trades.

  • Indicative only. SEC and FINRA fees are statutory and uniform across brokers, but commission structures vary widely (zero-commission, per-share, per-trade flat, tiered). Cross-check with your broker's pricing page before placing the trade.
