Did You Know?
Charges eat small profits
On a ₹50,000 intraday trade, charges alone can be ₹150-200. If you make 0.3% profit (₹150), you break even at best. Intraday trading needs larger moves to be profitable — most beginners lose money primarily to charges.

How to use this calculator

1

Select trade type

Delivery (holding overnight), Intraday (same-day), or Futures. Each has different STT and tax treatment.

2

Enter buy and sell prices

Per-share prices for both legs of the trade.

3

Set quantity and holding period

For delivery trades, holding over 1 year qualifies for LTCG (10% above ₹1L exempt) vs STCG (15%).

The formula explained

Charges on Indian stock trades include:

STT: 0.1% of trade value (delivery), 0.025% sell side (intraday)
Exchange charges: ~0.00325% NSE/BSE
Capital Gains: LTCG 10% above ₹1L / STCG 15%

For delivery trades on discount brokers (Zerodha, Groww), brokerage is typically zero. Intraday and F&O brokerage is ₹20 per order or 0.03%, whichever is lower.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is STT?

Securities Transaction Tax — a tax on every stock trade in India. For delivery trades: 0.1% on buy and sell. For intraday: 0.025% on the sell side only. For F&O: 0.0125% on sell side.

What is LTCG and STCG on stocks?

Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG): Gains on equity held over 1 year. Tax is 10% on gains above ₹1 lakh per year. Short Term Capital Gains (STCG): Held under 1 year. Tax is 15%.

Are intraday trading profits taxed differently?

Yes. Intraday trading is treated as speculative business income and taxed at your applicable income tax slab rate (up to 30%). It cannot be offset against salary income.

Do I pay charges on losses too?

Yes. STT, exchange charges, and GST are charged on the trade value regardless of profit or loss. This is why even a small loss on paper becomes a larger loss in reality.

How is capital gains tax calculated on stocks in India?

Short-term capital gains (held under 1 year): taxed at 15%. Long-term capital gains (held over 1 year): 10% on gains above Rs 1 lakh, with indexation not allowed for equity.
