Note: Rates shown are standard, publicly published discount/full-service brokerage plans, cross-checked against each broker's own pricing pages as of Aug 2026, and are illustrative only — brokers frequently revise pricing, and your actual plan (e.g. a prepaid or negotiated plan) may differ. STT on F&O reflects the Budget 2026 hike effective 1 April 2026 (futures 0.05%, options 0.15% of premium, sell side). Several brokers (SBI Securities, ICICI Direct, HDFC Securities, Kotak Securities, 5paisa) offer multiple subscription-based plans that change brokerage — pick a broker with plans and use the plan dropdown that appears to switch tiers. SBI Securities' OIOP and Plan 499 options are one-time-subscription plans; OIOP also includes a large lifetime block of complimentary delivery trade volume (₹1.5–7.5 Cr depending on tier) which this calculator does not model — actual delivery brokerage may be ₹0 until that block is exhausted. Minimum per-order brokerage floors (e.g. Angel One's ₹5 minimum, Groww's ₹5 minimum) are not modelled — this calculator always uses the flat-or-percentage rate without a floor. Statutory charges (STT, GST, exchange fees, SEBI charges, stamp duty) are calculated per current standard rates but can change. Always verify exact charges on your broker's own calculator or contract note before trading. This is not investment advice.

How this calculator works

Every trade in India involves more than just your broker's commission. On top of brokerage, you pay STT (Securities Transaction Tax, a government levy), exchange transaction charges (NSE/BSE fees), SEBI turnover charges, stamp duty (state tax on the buy side), and GST (18% on brokerage + exchange charges + SEBI charges). For equity delivery, a small DP (Depository Participant) charge also applies on the sell side.

This calculator adds all of these together so you can see your real, landed cost — not just the advertised "₹20 per order" headline figure most brokers lead with.

Frequently asked questions

Which broker has the lowest brokerage in India?

It depends on the segment. Zerodha, Upstox, Angel One, Dhan, and m.Stock all offer free equity delivery, while Groww and most full-service brokers charge for it. For intraday and F&O, most discount brokers cap brokerage at ₹20 per order — the real gap between brokers usually comes from statutory charges and any subscription plan, not the headline rate. Use "Compare All Brokers" above to see the actual ranked cost for your exact trade.

What is STT and how much is it in 2026?

Securities Transaction Tax (STT) is a tax the Indian government charges on every stock market trade, collected automatically by your broker. Following the Budget 2026 revision effective 1 April 2026, STT is 0.1% on both sides for delivery, 0.025% on the sell side for intraday, 0.05% on the sell side for futures, and 0.15% on the sell-side premium for options. This calculator applies the current rates automatically.

How is GST calculated on brokerage charges?

GST is charged at 18% — but not on your whole trade. It applies only to the brokerage, exchange transaction charges, SEBI charges, and DP charges added together. STT and stamp duty are government taxes and aren't subject to GST. This calculator shows the exact GST rupee amount as a separate line in the breakdown.

Is equity delivery really free with every broker?

No. Free delivery brokerage is common among discount brokers (Zerodha, Upstox, Angel One, Dhan, m.Stock) but you still pay STT, exchange charges, SEBI charges, stamp duty, and a small DP charge on the sell side — so delivery is never truly zero-cost. Full-service and some discount brokers like Groww charge a percentage-based delivery brokerage on top of that.

What is stamp duty and how is it calculated?

Stamp duty is a state government tax charged only on the buy side of a trade. Rates vary by segment: 0.015% for delivery, 0.003% for intraday and options, and 0.002% for futures, calculated on the buy-side turnover. Unlike STT, stamp duty applies uniformly across states as per the Stamp Duty Amendment rules.

Why does my broker's app show a different amount than this calculator?

This calculator uses each broker's standard published rate card and current statutory rates, but your account may be on a negotiated, prepaid, or legacy plan, and minor per-order minimums or rounding aren't modelled. Treat the numbers here as a close estimate, and confirm the exact figure on your contract note before relying on it.
