Brokerage Calculator

Brokerage calculators, provided by the brokers as well as other online investing platforms, provide a trader with an approximation of his or her cost before making a trade. It is more than simple brokerage calculation-it offers stamp duty, transaction fees, SEBI turnover fee, GST, and Securities Transaction Tax.

The process of computing trade costs becomes much easier when using a brokerage charges calculator. Users have to include specific information while computing their trading costs through the calculator.

Immediately calculated correct cost information provides useful insight to all traders who major in timing, among whom are the intraday traders. They can therefore analyze and check costs before buying and selling securities and select lowest brokerage charges with the use of an intraday brokerage calculator.
 

The formula for calculating stock market brokerage is as follows:

Brokerage = Number of Shares Sold/Bought * Price Per Share * Brokerage Percentage

5paisa Brokerage Calculator uses this formula for both intraday trading and bid brokerage calculations.

For e.g., Suresh decides to buy 20 shares of Tata Motors at ₹2,000 and sell them at ₹2,100 within 10 days. It does so through Broker ABC, which charges 0.05% as brokerage fees.

Suresh's total trade value is:

₹[(20 x 2000) + (20 x 2100)]

Or ₹(40,000 + 42,000) = ₹82,000

Since Broker ABC charges 0.05% as brokerage, the total fee paid by the broker is:

₹(82,000 x 0.05%) = ₹410

Therefore, Suresh would pay ₹410 as an intermediary for carrying out transactions worth ₹82,000.
 

There are 3 types of brokerage calculators:

Equity: This calculator is used for all investments in stocks that are traded through NSE or BSE. Equity is the company's stock.

Commodity: Commodity stocks are stocks which are generally listed on MCX, NCDEX and others. These are generally delivered physically or settled in cash. This is when one bets on the movement of the market in a set time frame based purely on instinct.

Currency: Currency is where investors can invest in the foreign exchange market. Forex is a good example of this.
 

To determine trading expenses, users are required to input the following details:

• Purchase Price of the Stock
• Sale Price of the Stock
• Quantity of Shares to be Traded
• Location (for stamp duty purposes)
• Lot Size (relevant for options trading)

Typically, brokerage is calculated as a percentage of the overall trade value. The formulas are as follows:

• Intraday Brokerage: (Current price per share * Number of shares * 0.05%)
• Delivery Brokerage: (Current price per share * Number of shares * 0.50%)
 

• Estimate costs: Calculate potential brokerage fees for trades.  It helps to calculate all charges i.e. customs duty, transaction charges, GST, STT and SEBI charges separately and includes all business costs.

• Compare fees: Compare fees across different brokers to find the best deal. Traders can use this tool to create a comparative analysis between different brokers.

• Plan trades: Estimate the impact of fees on profits or losses with accurate and immediate information.

• Make informed decisions: Understand the true cost of trading and make more informed investment choices by providing data analysis and transparency.
 

A trader can choose the right brokerage firms according to his needs and the calculator can help him make this partnership decision wisely. The correct amount of deposits can be calculated and the element of surprise removed. Maintaining the merchant's solvency through brokerage firms is key.

Delivery trading is a type of trading that deals with long-term trading, as opposed to intraday trading. This is when an investor buys shares and they are delivered to his demat account. You can buy it without having all the money ready and you cannot sell it without it being held in your demat account. Your funds will remain frozen during this time. Delivery fees are fees charged to the broker for trading deliveries. This is generally higher than intraday fees.

The service fee paid by the trader/investor to the broker is called intraday brokerage. Each broker charges its intraday brokerage along with STT (Securities Transaction Tax) and GST as this is collected from intraday trading sales. Apart from these charges, transaction charges, SEBI and NSE/BSE regulatory charges and stamp duty are also payable.

F&O (futures and options) trading involves buying or selling contracts based on the future price of underlying assets such as stocks or indices. Charges include:

• Brokerage: A fee charged by a broker for executing trades.

• Transaction Fees: Exchange fees for each trade.

• Securities Transaction Tax (STT): A tax levied by the government on securities transactions.

• Stamp duty: a tax on securities transactions at the state level.

• Margin: Required deposit to cover potential losses.

• Margin interest: Charged from borrowed margin.
