How the STT, Brokerage & DP Charges Calculator works

Net proceeds = sale value − STT − brokerage − DP charges. Securities Transaction Tax (STT) on equity delivery is a statutory 0.1% of the sale value on the sell side — unchanged as of Union Budget 2026. Brokerage and DP charges are notgovernment rates — they're set by your broker and depository (CDSL/NSDL). DP charges are typically ₹13–20 including GST, levied once per scrip per day you sell, regardless of how many shares are in that sale.

This calculator handles a single sell transaction. For the IPO listing-day version of this (issue price vs. listing price, with the gain/loss shown alongside the charges), use the listing day profit/loss calculator instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What charges apply when selling shares in India?

Securities Transaction Tax (STT) at 0.1% of sale value for equity delivery, your broker's brokerage (flat fee or % of turnover, broker-set), and DP (depository participant) charges of roughly ₹13-20 incl. GST per scrip per sell day.

Is STT the same for buying and selling equity delivery shares?

Yes — equity delivery STT is 0.1% of transaction value on both the buy and sell side. This calculator only computes the sell-side charges for a share sale.

Are DP charges based on the number of shares sold?

No. DP charges are levied once per scrip (stock symbol) per day you sell, regardless of quantity — selling 10 shares or 10,000 shares of the same stock on the same day incurs the same DP charge.

Is brokerage a fixed government rate?

No — brokerage is entirely broker-set. Discount brokers commonly charge a flat fee (e.g. ₹20 per order) or a small percentage of turnover; full-service brokers often charge higher %-based brokerage. Always check your broker's actual rate.

Do net proceeds account for income tax on the gain?

No — net proceeds here are the cash amount after transaction charges only. Income tax (STCG/LTCG) on any profit is separate and calculated on your gain, not your proceeds — see the capital gains tax calculator.
