About Stock Profit Calculator — Net of Brokerage
Gross profit is what the price chart suggests; net profit is what reaches your bank. Charges apply to both legs — buying ₹92,500 of stock and selling at ₹1,10,000 with 0.12% per leg costs about ₹243 in total charges, turning a ₹17,500 gross into ₹17,257 net. On big swing trades the haircut is cosmetic; on tight trades it decides whether the trade was worth taking at all. The break-even output is the working trader's number: because fees bite twice, a stock bought at ₹1,850 must be sold above roughly ₹1,854.4 (at 0.12% per leg) before the first true rupee of profit appears. Traders who take many small trades live and die by this line — a strategy that averages 0.3% gross per trade keeps only half of it at these fee levels, and none of it at full-service brokerage rates. What this calculator deliberately excludes: capital-gains tax, which depends on your holding period, not the trade itself — in India, equity held over a year pays LTCG above the annual exemption, under a year pays STCG at a flat rate. Net trading profit here is pre-tax; pair it with a capital-gains calculator when sizing the real take-home on a large exit.

Frequently asked questions
Charges per leg me kya-kya aata hai?+
Delivery par: brokerage (discount brokers par zero se ₹20/order), STT 0.1% (dono legs), exchange charges ~0.003%, SEBI fee, GST aur stamp duty (sirf buy par 0.015%). Sab milakar discount broker par ~0.10–0.15% per leg banta hai — isliye default 0.12% hai. Full-service broker 0.3–0.5% brokerage akela le sakta hai; apne contract note se asli figure daal kar dekhiye, farak chaunkane wala hota hai.
Intraday ke charges alag kyun hote hain?+
Intraday par STT sirf sell leg par 0.025% hai aur brokerage flat/zero per order — to percentage chhota lagta hai, par margin ke saath quantity badi hoti hai aur trades bahut saare. 0.05% per leg bhi din me 10 round-trips par mahine ka bada kharcha ban jaata hai. Intraday ke liye is calculator me apna all-in per-leg % daal kar har strategy ka asli edge check kijiye.
Percent return invested par hai ya gross par?+
Invested capital (buy × qty) par — wahi maayne rakhta hai kyunki wahi paisa risk par tha. 50 shares ₹1,850 par = ₹92,500 invested; ₹17,257 net = 18.66%. Annualize karne ke liye holding period chahiye: 6 mahine me 18.66% ≈ 41% annualized, 3 saal me ≈ 5.9% — same rupaya, bilkul alag verdict. Compare hamesha annualized basis par kijiye.
Tax is calculator me kyun nahi hai?+
Kyunki tax trade ka nahi, aapke saal ka function hai: holding period (LTCG vs STCG), saal bhar ke total gains, exemption limit aur losses ka set-off sab milkar tay karte hain. Ek trade ka net profit clean number hai; us par tax overlay karna misleading hota. Bade exit se pehle capital-gains calculator se le-jaane-wala amount alag se nikaaliye — especially March ke aas-paas, jab harvesting ka mauka hota hai.
