How to use a Brokerage Calculator?

You are required to pay a set of charges, known as brokerage, in addition to the purchase price of the stock every time you trade. Brokerage can either be a percentage of the total trade value or a flat fee per trade. But since it adds to the overall cost of your investment, it is important to accurately calculate your brokerage using a brokerage calculator to make informed decisions.

So, how do you use a brokerage calculator? Using a brokerage charges calculator is extremely easy, and it only takes a few minutes. You only have to enter a few details of your trade.

Brokerage as a % of trade value

In this case, the brokerage depends on the total value of the trade that you place, also known as the turnover. Let’s say that your average monthly turnover is around ₹1,00,000, and your stock broker charges 0.10% of the total trade value as brokerage.

In that case, the brokerage that you would have to pay annually would be as follows.

Brokerage

Average monthly
turnover X Percentage of
brokerage X 12

1,00,000 X 0.10% X 12

Brokerage = ₹ 1,200

By opting for m.Stock’s ZERO brokerage plan, you can save ₹1,200 annually.

Brokerage as a flat fee

Discount brokers charge a flat fee brokerage. Here, a fixed fee is charged for every successful trade, irrespective of the trade value. Let’s say the number of monthly orders you place is 100 and your stockbroker levies a fixed fee of ₹20 for every trade.

In this case, the brokerage that you would have to pay annually would be as follows.

Brokerage

Number of
monthly orders X Fixed fee
brokerage X 12

100 X 20 X 12

Brokerage = ₹ 24,000

By opting for m.Stock’s ZERO brokerage plan, you can save ₹24,000 annually.

The brokerage you pay can be influenced by several factors, including the type of trading account you have, the brokerage firm's fee structure, the volume of your trades, and the type of assets you are trading. Online brokers typically charge lower fees compared to full-service brokers. Additionally, promotional offers, account balance, and frequency of trading can also impact brokerage fees.

There are different types of brokerage calculators available to help you estimate trading costs. These include equity brokerage calculators, futures and options brokerage calculators, intraday brokerage calculators, and delivery brokerage calculators. Each type is designed to calculate the brokerage fees specific to the type of trade you are conducting. Using the appropriate calculator can help you accurately estimate your trading costs and make more informed investment decisions.

Brokerage is typically calculated on the market value of the transaction rather than the face value. The market value reflects the current trading price of the security, which is the actual cost involved in the transaction. This ensures that the brokerage fee is proportional to the actual amount being traded, providing a fair and transparent cost structure for both the trader and the broker.

The maximum rate of brokerage varies depending on regulatory guidelines and the type of brokerage firm. In India, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has set a maximum brokerage limit of 2.5% of the transaction value for equity delivery trades, while for intraday trades it is capped at 0.25%. However, most brokers charge lower rates, especially for online trading accounts. It’s essential to compare different brokers and their fee structures to ensure you are getting competitive rates that suit your trading activities. m.Stock stands out here, as it offers you the option of a Zero Brokerage Demat Account for a minor one-time additional fee.
