Why Your Broker's Profit Number Is Wrong

Open your Zerodha, Groww, or Angel One app right now. The P&L column shows gross profit: sell price minus buy price, multiplied by quantity. It does not account for STT, stamp duty, GST, SEBI turnover fees, or DP charges. These are deducted separately and most traders never add them up. This calculator does exactly that. Enter your trade details and see the number that actually hits your bank account.

How Indian Trading Charges Eat Into Your Profits

On a Rs 1,50,000 buy and Rs 1,65,000 sell (100 shares at Rs 1,500 to Rs 1,650), your gross profit is Rs 15,000. But charges add up to roughly Rs 650. Here is the breakdown: STT alone takes Rs 315 (0.1% on both buy and sell sides). Stamp duty costs about Rs 22. GST on transaction charges is around Rs 1.70. SEBI turnover fees are negligible. And DP charges of Rs 15.93 are flat per sell transaction regardless of trade size. That Rs 15,000 becomes Rs 14,350 in your account. For smaller trades, the impact is even worse because the Rs 15.93 DP charge is fixed.

Gross Profit vs Net Profit: Why the Gap Matters

Gross profit is the simple price difference times quantity. Net profit is what you actually take home. The gap between the two is roughly 0.2% to 0.25% of your total turnover on equity delivery trades. This matters for your risk-reward ratio. If you are targeting a 3% move with a 1% stop loss, your actual reward-to-risk after charges is closer to 2.75:1.25, not 3:1. Knowing this before entering a trade helps you set realistic targets and avoid trades where charges wipe out most of the edge.

Why the Breakeven Price Is Not Your Buy Price

Many traders assume their breakeven is their entry price. It is not. Because of charges on both the buy and sell sides, you need the stock to move up by 0.2% to 0.3% just to break even on a delivery trade. On a Rs 1,500 stock, your real breakeven is around Rs 1,506 to Rs 1,507. This calculator shows your exact breakeven price so you can set stop losses and targets accordingly.
