About Stock Profit and Loss Calculator
This calculator computes profit or loss from equity trades including transaction charges. Formula: Net P&L = (Sell Price - Buy Price) x Quantity - Total charges. Charges for Indian equity delivery trades: STT (Securities Transaction Tax) 0.1% on buy and sell (delivery); Exchange transaction charges 0.00335% (NSE) or 0.00375% (BSE); SEBI turnover fee 0.0001%; Stamp duty 0.015% on buy side; GST 18% on brokerage and transaction charges.
Return calculations: Absolute return = (Sell - Buy) / Buy x 100%; CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) = (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1/years) - 1. Short-term capital gains (held below 12 months) are taxed at 15% (equity). Long-term capital gains (held above 12 months) above Rs 1 lakh are taxed at 10% without indexation. LTCG below Rs 1 lakh per year is exempt. For F&O trades, STT is 0.0125% on sell side (options premium) or 0.01% on sell side (futures). Maintain a trade journal to track actual realised returns net of all taxes and charges.
