A brokerage calculator is an online tool that helps you calculate trading costs in an instant before you make a trading decision. It helps you get an accurate estimate of your trading costs on stocks, futures & options, and other commodities. Our calculator gives a detailed breakdown of costs, including taxes, turnover, brokerage, securities transaction tax (STT), etc.
By inputting details like trade value, segment (e.g., equity, commodity, or currency), and transaction type, you can quickly estimate costs. The calculator plays a crucial role in determining the “break-even point” (total profit equals total loss), so you can adjust your investments accordingly.
Brokerage charges are applied when you both buy and sell stocks, and are calculated using the brokerage formula:
Brokerage = Number of Shares Sold/(Shares Bought X Price Per Stock X Brokerage Percentage)
However, in practice, brokers often have a maximum limit of ₹20 or ₹40 for brokerage charges you’ll need to pay when trading. So, you won’t be charged more than this and will only need to pay the maximum amount of ₹20 or ₹40, even if the calculated brokerage charges for your trade are higher. 5paisa has a flat ₹20 brokerage fee per order.

For an intraday equity trade:
| Buy Price: | ₹500 |

Step 1: Go to the 5paisa website and head to our Brokerage Calculator page. The calculator can also be found at the top of this page.
Step 2: Input the values for the trade. In this case:
- Enter 500 in the “Buy” section.

Using the 5paisa calculator saves time, ensures accuracy and helps traders make well informed decisions.
- Buy/Sale Price: The higher the price of the securities traded, the larger the brokerage fee, as charges are often calculated as a percentage of the trade value. However, most brokers, including 5paisa, charge a flat fee for all orders.
- Transaction Volume: Larger trade volumes can attract higher fees, as the number of trades sold or bought directly influences the brokerage charges.
