Estimates for a buy-then-sell round trip using each broker's published brokerage (default plan for plan-based brokers) and current statutory rates. DP charges on delivery sells use a typical figure. "Not modelled" means the published rate card doesn't give a rate we can calculate. Verify on each broker's official pricing page before trading.

Statutory charges used in this calculator

These are levied by the government and exchanges and are identical at every broker.

Frequently asked questions

How does this brokerage calculator work?

Enter one trade (buy price, sell price, quantity and segment) and it calculates brokerage, STT, exchange charges, SEBI fees, GST and stamp duty at all 16 brokers we track, then ranks them cheapest first.

Which charges are included?

Brokerage, STT, exchange transaction charges, SEBI turnover fee, GST (on brokerage, exchange and SEBI charges) and stamp duty on the buy leg. Delivery trades also include a typical DP charge on the sell side.

What does "per year" mean?

It multiplies the total charges of one round trip by your round trips per month × 12, so you can see what a broker really costs you over a year of trading.

Why does a broker show "Not modelled"?

Some brokers publish plan-based pricing or no rate for a segment that we can calculate exactly. Rather than guess, we leave them out of the ranking for that segment and link to their own calculator page.

How do I calculate brokerage for options?

Choose the F&O Options tab, enter the premium you bought and sold at, and set quantity to lots × lot size. Most discount brokers charge a flat fee per executed order on options, so brokerage stays the same whatever the premium.

Is the calculator accurate to my contract note?

It is close, but exchange transaction charges can vary by stock group and brokers may round differently. Treat it as a reliable estimate and check your contract note for the exact figure.
