Zerodha Brokerage Calculator

Kite is Zerodha’s order-placement platform. A "Zerodha Kite calculator" simply refers to estimating charges before placing orders on Kite — which is exactly what this page does. It computes Zerodha’s brokerage, STT, GST, exchange transaction charges, SEBI charges, stamp duty, and DP charges for any segment and trade size, so you can see the landed cost before you place the order in Kite.

MIS — Margin Intraday Square-off — is Zerodha’s intraday product. Brokerage is the lower of 0.03% or ₹20 per executed order, charged on both buy and sell. On top, you pay STT at 0.025% on the sell side, exchange transaction charges, SEBI charges, stamp duty on the buy side, and 18% GST on the broker-revenue slice. Switch to the Intraday tab above to see the exact total for your trade size.

Brokerage on equity delivery is ₹0 — that part is genuinely free. Statutory and depository charges still apply: STT at 0.1% on both buy and sell, stamp duty on the buy side, exchange and SEBI charges, 18% GST on the broker-revenue items, and a DP charge on every delivery sell. The Delivery tab surfaces every line item.

Brokerage on options is flat ₹20 per executed order, regardless of lot size or premium. Statutory layer: STT is 0.1% on the *premium* of the sell side (a common gotcha — it is not on turnover), exchange transaction charges of 0.03503% on premium, SEBI charges, stamp duty on the buy side, and 18% GST. The Options tab handles all of this.

Brokerage on equity futures is the lower of 0.03% or ₹20 per executed order, applied to each side. Statutory: STT 0.02% on the sell side, exchange transaction charges 0.00173%, SEBI charges, stamp duty on buy, and 18% GST on the broker-revenue slice. The Futures tab computes the full breakdown.

It's a tool that estimates the full cost of a trade on Zerodha — including brokerage, STT, GST, exchange transaction charges, stamp duty, SEBI charges, and DP charges. You enter the trade size; we run the math.

Brokerage is the fee a broker charges to execute a trade on your behalf. In India, discount brokers typically charge a flat ₹20 or a percentage of the order value — whichever is lower. Equity delivery is often free.

Zerodha charges per executed order. The fee depends on the segment — delivery, intraday, futures, or options — and is computed against either a flat amount or a percentage of order value. Government taxes (STT, stamp duty, SEBI, exchange) and 18% GST are added on top.

STT (Securities Transaction Tax), stamp duty, SEBI turnover charges, exchange transaction charges, GST (18% on brokerage + SEBI + exchange + DP), and DP charges on equity delivery sells.

Because the broker fee is only one part of the cost. Government taxes and exchange fees often exceed the brokerage itself on small trades. A full breakdown lets you see the real cost of any position before you place it.
