Brokerage Calculator India 2026

Q: What is a brokerage calculator and how does it work?

A brokerage calculator estimates the complete cost of a trade — not just brokerage, but also statutory charges like STT/CTT, exchange transaction charges, SEBI fees, GST, stamp duty and DP charges. Enter your buy price, sell price, quantity and segment, and this calculator computes the real cost for any of 31 Indian brokers using their latest verified brokerage rates.

Q: Which charges are included in this brokerage calculator?

The calculator includes brokerage (as per each broker's verified tariff), STT/CTT (per Budget 2026 rates effective 1 April 2026), exchange transaction charges (indicative NSE rates), SEBI turnover fees (₹10 per crore), 18% GST, stamp duty on the buy side, and DP charges on delivery sells. Broker charges and government/regulatory charges are always shown separately.

Q: How accurate is this brokerage calculator?

Every broker's charges are checked against official pricing pages and marked with a last-verified date. Statutory rates are taken from the latest government and exchange notifications. If a broker's tariff cannot be verified, that broker is flagged as 'Verification Required' instead of being estimated with guessed data. The broker's official tariff page remains the final authority.

Q: Which is the best stock broker in India in 2026?

There is no single best broker for everyone — it depends on your trading style. For options and F&O traders, Dhan and SAHI stand out with advanced tools and flat ₹20/₹10 pricing. For long-term investors, Zerodha (zero delivery brokerage) and Groww (zero AMC) are strong. For research and advisory, ICICI Direct and Nuvama lead. Use the personalized broker finder above to match charges and features to your own requirements.

Q: Which broker charges the lowest brokerage in India?

As of August 2026, SAHI charges a flat ₹10 per executed order (with the first 30 days brokerage-free), the lowest flat fee among leading discount brokers. Zerodha, Dhan and FYERS charge zero brokerage on equity delivery. Full-service brokers such as ICICI Direct, Kotak Securities and Motilal Oswal typically charge percentage-based, plan-dependent brokerage.

Q: How often is the brokerage data verified?

The Option Chain India data desk reviews every charge against official broker pricing pages and regulatory sources (SEBI, NSE, BSE, MCX, CDSL, NSDL). Each charge is marked Verified, Review Recommended or Verification Required with a last-verified date. If a broker changes its tariff after our last check, the broker's official page is the final authority.

Q: How do I calculate brokerage on ₹1 lakh turnover?

Example: a Zerodha delivery trade of ₹1,00,000 buy and ₹1,05,000 sell costs about ₹243 in total — STT ₹205 (0.1% on both sides), stamp duty ₹15, exchange charges ₹6, SEBI fees ₹0.20, DP charge ₹13.50, GST ₹3.50, and brokerage ₹0 (Zerodha delivery is free). That is roughly 0.12% of the trade value. Enter your own numbers in the calculator for the exact cost with your broker and segment.

Q: How do I calculate Zerodha, Groww, Dhan or Upstox brokerage with this calculator?

Select your broker from the dropdown — Zerodha, Groww, Angel One, Upstox, Dhan, 5paisa, FYERS, SAHI and 23 more — choose a segment (delivery, intraday, futures, options, commodity or currency), enter buy price, sell price and quantity, then press Calculate. You get a complete breakup of brokerage and statutory charges. Use the Multi-Broker tab to compare the same trade across brokers at once, or the Annual Estimator for yearly costs.

Calculate your real trading cost — brokerage, STT, GST, exchange, SEBI, stamp duty & DP charges — for 31 leading Indian brokers. Then compare verified charges side-by-side and find the broker that best matches your trading style. Brought to you by Option Chain India.

Where Our Data Comes From

Source hierarchy used by the Option Chain India data desk:

Level 1 — Regulatory sources: SEBI, NSE, BSE, MCX, CDSL, NSDL (statutory rates, exchange information, intermediary registration).
Level 2 — Official broker sources: each broker's official pricing page, tariff sheet, charges documentation and product pages. These always take priority.
Level 3 — Reliable secondary sources: used only when official information cannot be located. An unofficial comparison website can never override an official broker charge page.

Official broker charges are the final authority if the broker has changed its tariff after our last verification.

How We Compare Brokers

Brokers are scored on cost, trading features, platform quality, product availability, support, research, MTF and API/algo capability — weighted dynamically against your answers in the broker finder. No paid or hidden rankings are used, and no broker is labelled "No. 1 in India".

Broker Score ≠ Data Confidence. The Broker Score measures suitability for your needs. Data Confidence measures only how recent and well-sourced our charge data is. They are kept strictly separate.

Verification Status & Freshness Rules

Every charge carries a verification status and a last-verified date:

• 0–7 days old → Recently Verified
• 8–30 days → Verified
• 31–60 days → Review Recommended
• 60+ days or no date → Verification Required

If a charge cannot be verified, the tool shows "Verification Required" — it never guesses. Missing or not-applicable charges show "Not Available" / "Not Applicable". Older data is not assumed to be wrong; it simply needs a fresh check.
