A brokerage calculator helps you estimate the total cost of executing a trade. Beyond the broker's fee, every trade attracts statutory charges like STT, exchange transaction charges, GST, SEBI turnover fees, and stamp duty. These charges vary by segment and can significantly impact your net returns .
Statutory charges — STT, exchange transaction charges, GST, SEBI turnover fee, and stamp duty — are set by the government, SEBI, and the exchanges. They are identical across all brokers and cannot be waived .[citation:4]
Brokerage is the only charge that varies between brokers. Some brokers offer zero brokerage on delivery or flat fees on intraday and F&O trades, while traditional brokers charge a percentage of turnover.

|---|---|---|
| Equity Delivery | 0.1% | Both Buy & Sell |

| Equity Futures | 0.05% | Sell Side Only |
| Equity Options (Premium) | 0.15% | Sell Side Only |
| Options (Exercise) | 0.15% | On Intrinsic Value |
STT on futures and options was revised upward effective April 1, 2026. Equity delivery and intraday rates remain unchanged .[citation:7][citation:15]

Every trade attracts multiple charges: brokerage (broker's fee), STT (government tax), exchange transaction charges (NSE/BSE fee), GST (18% on brokerage and exchange charges), SEBI turnover fee (₹10 per crore), and stamp duty (buy side only). Statutory charges are the same across all brokers, while brokerage varies .[citation:4]
STT stands for Securities Transaction Tax. It is a direct tax levied by the government on securities transactions on recognised exchanges. For equity delivery, STT is 0.1% on both buy and sell. For intraday, it is 0.025% on the sell side only. For futures, it is 0.05% on the sell side, and for options, 0.15% on the sell premium .[citation:2][citation:11]
Yes, brokerage is charged per executed order. A complete round-trip trade (buy and sell) attracts brokerage on both legs. For example, at ₹20 per order, a full trade costs ₹40 in brokerage alone .[citation:6]
GST at 18% is charged on the sum of brokerage, exchange transaction charges, and SEBI turnover fees. It is not charged on STT or stamp duty. With zero brokerage, your GST outgo is significantly lower .[citation:4]
Stamp duty is charged on the buy side of the transaction. For delivery trades, it is 0.015% of the trade value. For intraday, it is 0.003%, for futures 0.002%, and for options 0.003% of the premium. Rates are uniform across India .[citation:6][citation:12]
Discount brokers like Zerodha charge ₹0 for equity delivery and a flat ₹20 or 0.03% (whichever is lower) for intraday and F&O trades. Some brokers offer even lower rates or zero brokerage on certain segments. However, statutory charges remain the same regardless of your broker .[citation:5][citation:9]
