Read net profit and break-even
See what you keep after every levy, and the exit price that recovers your costs.
Net profit · Zerodha
₹1,916.74
Gross ₹2,000.00 minus ₹83.26 in total charges on equity intraday.
Break-even price
₹1,000.83
Need a ₹0.83 move (0.083%) from entry to cover every charge.
Charges on this trade
₹83.26
₹30.34 on the buy · ₹52.92 on the sell
Every executed order attracts brokerage plus a stack of statutory levies. Net profit is the gross price gap minus the sum of those levies on both legs. Break-even is the exit price that makes net profit exactly zero.
Net profit = (Sell − Buy) × Qty − Σ chargesBroker's fee per executed order
Flat, percent of turnover, the lower of the two, the higher of the two, or a per-lot fee — depending on the plan.
Securities / Commodities Transaction Tax
Government levy. Often the largest charge on delivery and options sells.
Exchange transaction charges + IPFT
NSE, BSE or MCX tariff on the traded value.
SEBI turnover fee
₹10 per crore of turnover.
Stamp duty on the buy side
Unified under the Indian Stamp Act; rate depends on the segment.
18% goods and services tax
Charged on brokerage + exchange charges + SEBI fee + IPFT. Not charged on STT or stamp duty.
Exit price that zeros net profit
Solved as a linear equation in the exit price, because STT, exchange fees and percent brokerage all scale with it.
On a typical equity delivery trade, STT at 0.1% on both sides is an order of magnitude larger than discount-broker brokerage. That is why two zero-brokerage brokers can still look expensive next to each other — and why the comparison table ranks on total charges, not brokerage alone.
