Frequently Asked Questions
What charges are included in the brokerage calculation?
The calculator accounts for brokerage fees, Securities Transaction Tax (STT), exchange transaction charges, GST on brokerage and transaction charges, SEBI turnover fees, and stamp duty. Together, these make up the total cost of executing a trade. The exact amounts vary depending on the segment — equity delivery, intraday, futures, or options.
How do discount broker charges compare to full-service brokers?
Discount brokers like Zerodha, Groww, and Upstox typically charge a flat fee of Rs 20 per order (or zero for delivery), while full-service brokers may charge a percentage of trade value, often 0.3% to 0.5%. For active traders placing large orders, discount brokers can save thousands of rupees each month in brokerage alone.
Does brokerage affect my overall trading profitability?
Absolutely. For intraday and F&O traders, brokerage and statutory charges can eat into profits significantly, especially on small trades. A trade that looks profitable before charges may turn into a loss after deducting all costs. That is why calculating your breakeven point — the minimum price move needed to cover charges — is essential before entering a trade.
