- Verifying a broker's contract-note P&L figure.
- Comparing two exit prices to see the profit difference.

Pro Tips for Best Results
- Include all costs in Charges % — brokerage, STT, exchange fees, GST, and stamp duty together often total 0.3–0.6%.
- A trade that looks profitable before charges can be a net loss on small margins — check the Net Profit card.
- Use the percentage return, not the rupee figure, to compare trades of different sizes.
- For delivery trades, add DP charges into the percentage estimate.
Common Problems & Solutions
Charges apply to both buy and sell value — total turnover — so they are roughly double the single-leg estimate.
All inputs are optional until filled; enter all four values for a complete result.
Return % is computed on the invested amount — a large position makes small charges look bigger in rupees but the percentage stays honest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using Stock Profit Calculator
Net profit = (sell price - buy price) x quantity - charges. Enter the four fields in this calculator to see the rupee profit and percentage return after costs.
For intraday trades, a combined 0.3–0.6% of turnover is a reasonable estimate covering brokerage, STT, exchange charges, GST, and stamp duty — check your broker's rate card for the exact figure.
Yes — the math is the same per-unit buy/sell with charges on turnover; just adjust the charges percentage to match your segment.
Charges are applied to both the buy and sell legs, so on thin margins the fees can exceed the price gain. Reduce the charge % or widen the spread to break even.
