Calculate stock trading profit/loss after charges
Charges include: brokerage (0-0.5%), STT (0.1% on sell), exchange fees (0.00345%), GST (18% on brokerage), SEBI charges (0.0001%), and stamp duty (varies by state). These can significantly impact short-term trading profits.
STT (Securities Transaction Tax) is 0.1% on delivery trades (buy and sell), 0.025% on intraday sell. For example, selling ₹1 lakh worth of delivery shares incurs ₹100 STT. It's automatically deducted.
FIFO (First In First Out) assumes first shares bought are sold first. Average cost calculates average purchase price of all holdings. India uses FIFO for capital gains tax. Your cost basis affects profit calculation.
Short-term gains (held <12 months) are taxed at 15%. Long-term gains (held >12 months) above ₹1 lakh are taxed at 10% without indexation. Losses can offset gains within the same category.
Break-even is the price at which you neither profit nor lose after all charges. For a ₹100 buy, with 0.5% total charges, break-even is approximately ₹101. Account for this when setting target prices.
