How to Use the Trading Calculator

Our comprehensive trading calculator provides essential tools for stock market trading analysis and cost optimization:

📊 Profit/Loss Calculator

Calculate trading P&L including all charges. Formula: Net P&L = (Sell Price - Buy Price) × Quantity - Total Charges. Total charges include brokerage, STT (0.1% on sell side for equity), exchange charges (0.00345% NSE, 0.00375% BSE), GST (18% on brokerage + exchange charges), SEBI charges (₹10 per crore), stamp duty (0.003% on buy side). Zerodha charges ₹20 per order, Angel One ₹20, Upstox ₹20 for equity delivery.

📏 Position Size Calculator

Calculate optimal position size using risk management. Formula: Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ Risk Per Share. Risk Amount = Account Size × Risk Percentage. Risk Per Share = |Entry Price - Stop Loss|. Professional traders risk 1-2% per trade maximum. Example: ₹1 lakh account, 2% risk, ₹100 stock, ₹95 stop loss = ₹2000 ÷ ₹5 = 400 shares maximum. Always maintain risk:reward ratio of 1:2 or better.

💰 Brokerage Calculator

Compare brokerage costs across different brokers and segments. Discount brokers (Zerodha, Upstox, Angel One) charge flat ₹20 per order for equity delivery, ₹20 for intraday. Full-service brokers (ICICI Direct, HDFC Securities) charge 0.05-0.55% of trade value. STT rates: Equity delivery 0.1% on sell, Intraday 0.025% on both sides, Futures 0.01% on sell, Options 0.017% on sell.

Trading Cost Tips: Use discount brokers for lower costs, prefer delivery over intraday for lower STT, calculate breakeven points before trading, consider impact cost for large orders, factor in taxes when calculating returns.
