How it works
When you buy and sell shares, your actual profit or loss is not just the difference between the sell and buy prices. It also includes brokerage commissions paid on both legs of the trade, any dividends received while holding the shares, and potentially Securities Transaction Tax (STT) and other charges. This calculator accounts for brokerage on both buy and sell to give you a realistic net return figure.
The absolute return percentage shows your total gain or loss as a percentage of the total amount you invested (including buying brokerage). This is useful for comparing the performance of different trades regardless of the amount invested.
This calculator is for educational and illustrative purposes only. It does not account for capital gains tax (STCG or LTCG), STT, exchange fees, or SEBI charges. Consult a tax advisor for accurate post-tax return calculations.
