NSE Charge Structure

Every NSE trade incurs multiple mandatory charges beyond brokerage. Always include these in your P&L calculations:

STT (Equity Delivery): 0.1% on buy + sell turnover STT (Intraday/Futures): 0.025% on sell side only STT (Options buy): 0.05% on premium Exchange fee (NSE): 0.0035% of turnover SEBI charges: ₹10 per crore turnover GST: 18% on (brokerage + exchange fee + SEBI) Stamp duty: 0.015% on buy (delivery) / 0.003% on buy (intraday)

For scalpers and high-frequency traders, charges can consume 30–50% of gross profits. This is why scalping only works on large positions with very tight spreads.

About This Calculator

The NSE Brokerage Calculator calculates the exact total trading charges on any NSE equity, futures, or options trade — including brokerage, Securities Transaction Tax (STT), NSE exchange fees, SEBI turnover charges, stamp duty, and GST. Most traders focus only on brokerage and ignore the other charges, leading to significant underestimation of actual trading costs. For active intraday and F&O traders on NSE, total charges can represent 15–30% of gross profits on smaller trades. Understanding the true cost of every trade is essential for evaluating whether a strategy is actually profitable after all charges. A strategy that looks profitable on paper can turn into a loss-maker when real NSE charges are factored in. The calculator covers all four NSE segments: Equity Delivery (CNC), Equity Intraday (MIS), Futures (F&O), and Options — each with different STT rates and stamp duty structures as mandated by SEBI and the Indian government.

Formula
Brokerage = ₹20 flat per order (Zerodha/Upstox) or 0.1–0.5% (traditional brokers) STT Delivery = 0.1% on buy + sell turnover STT Intraday = 0.025% on sell side only STT Futures = 0.02% on sell side STT Options = 0.05% on premium (buy side) Exchange fee = 0.00335% of turnover (NSE) SEBI charges = ₹10 per crore of turnover Stamp duty = 0.015% on buy (delivery) / 0.003% (intraday) / 0.002% (F&O) GST = 18% on (brokerage + exchange fee + SEBI charges)
Worked Example
An intraday trader buys 200 shares of Reliance at ₹2,800 and sells at ₹2,850 using Zerodha (₹20 flat brokerage): Gross P&L = (2,850 − 2,800) × 200 = ₹10,000 Brokerage = ₹20 × 2 = ₹40 STT (0.025%) = ₹2,850 × 200 × 0.00025 = ₹142.50 Exchange fee = ₹11,30,000 × 0.0000335 = ₹37.85 SEBI = ₹11,30,000 × 0.000001 = ₹1.13 Stamp duty = ₹5,60,000 × 0.00003 = ₹16.80 GST (18%) = (₹40 + ₹37.85 + ₹1.13) × 0.18 = ₹14.22 Total charges = ₹252.50 Net P&L = ₹10,000 − ₹252.50 = ₹9,747.50
