Intraday trading means that the trading charges that you save are also profit to you. Our Intraday Brokerage Calculator allows you to get the exact brokerage, taxes and other statutory charges on your intraday trades in seconds — and thus always know the actual cost before you place an intraday order.
What is an Intraday Brokerage Calculator?
An intraday brokerage calculator is a free online tool which estimates the sum total of buying and selling stocks in a trading day. It will include brokerage, Securities Transaction Tax (STT), Goods and Services Tax (GST), ST or SEBI charges, exchange transaction charges and stamp duty, thus providing you with a transparent view of your final profit or loss. This calculator will do the guesswork when it comes to cost planning, even for traders who are new or already have knowledge of trading throughout the day.

Intraday Brokerage Charges Formula
The calculation of brokerage is useful to know in making your decisions to trade.
Net P/L = (Sell – Buy) x Qty – Brokerage – STT (Sell) – Exchange – GST – SEBI – Stamp
Beyond brokerage, your total cost also includes:
-
STT (Securities Transaction Tax) – levied on the sell side for intraday trades
-
GST – 18% charged on brokerage and transaction charges
-
SEBI Charges – regulatory fee on turnover
-
Stamp Duty – state-levied charge on the buy side
-
Exchange Transaction Charges – levied by NSE/BSE on turnover
STT is charged on the sell side on an intraday basis. The calculator is imposed on the basis of the typical intraday rates. The tool does this instantaneously and recalculates as you change any input, allowing you to test different scenarios in seconds, instead of minutes or hours and hours of paper and spreadsheet work.

Intraday Brokerage Calculator vs Manual Calculation
When you have to calculate brokerage on your own, you'll have to keep a check on various variables, such as STT, GST, stamp duty and exchange charges, which are determined by each state and each brokerage. One mistake could cost you your profit. Our calculator takes the entire process away and guarantees 100% accuracy each time, allowing you to concentrate on the trading method instead of on arithmetic.
Factors Affecting Intraday Brokerage Charges
Several factors influence your final brokerage amount:
-
Broker type (discount vs full-service)
-
Trade value (higher turnover may hit the flat fee cap)
-
State of residence (stamp duty rates differ by state)
-
Exchange chosen (NSE vs BSE charges vary slightly)
