Brokerage Calculator

A brokerage calculator is an online financial tool that computes the total transaction charges payable on a buy or sell trade in Indian equity, derivatives, or commodity markets — including brokerage fees, Securities Transaction Tax (STT), exchange transaction charges, SEBI turnover fees, GST on brokerage and exchange charges, and stamp duty. By entering the trade details (buy/sell, quantity, price, exchange, and product type — delivery, intraday, or F&O), the calculator produces a detailed breakup of all applicable charges and the net profit or loss after all costs. Brokerage calculators are essential for traders and investors to accurately evaluate the true cost of a trade — which can differ substantially from the headline brokerage rate alone. For example, on a delivery equity trade, STT (0.1% on the sell side), stamp duty, and GST on brokerage can collectively exceed the brokerage component for a ₹20-flat-fee discount broker. For F&O traders, STT on options exercise at expiry (0.125% on intrinsic value) can be a significant cost that erodes profitability on in-the-money options. Ventura's brokerage calculator enables investors and traders on the platform to accurately model trade economics, compare costs across different brokers, and assess the impact of transaction costs on the viability of different trading strategies before committing capital.
