About This Calculator
The NSE Profit and Loss Calculator calculates your exact gross P&L, total brokerage and government charges, net P&L, percentage return, and breakeven price for any completed or hypothetical NSE trade. It covers all four trading segments — Equity Delivery, Equity Intraday (MIS), Futures, and Options — with the correct charge structure for each. Understanding net P&L (after all charges) versus gross P&L (before charges) is critical for accurate trade evaluation. Many traders celebrate a profitable trade without realising that after STT, brokerage, exchange fees, and GST, the actual net profit is significantly lower. For small trades or tight scalps, charges can consume 20–50% of gross profit. The calculator also shows breakeven price — the exact sell price needed to cover all costs and exit with zero profit or loss. This is particularly useful for options traders and intraday scalpers who need to know precisely how much price needs to move before a position becomes profitable.
