For F&O: 0.0125% on sell side for options and 0.01% for futures. On a ₹1 lakh delivery trade, STT = ₹100 per side = ₹200 total.

Net profit = (Sell price - Buy price) x Quantity - Total charges. On a ₹50,000 buy and ₹55,000 sell (same day intraday via Zerodha): gross profit = ₹5,000, total charges ~₹85 (brokerage ₹40 + STT ₹13.75 + exchange + GST + stamp duty), net profit ~₹4,915. For delivery trades, charges are higher due to STT on both sides. Use the free Brokerage Calculator on AbacusHand to calculate your exact result instantly.
Delivery trades are held overnight — you pay STT on both buy and sell (0.1% each side). Intraday trades are squared off the same day — STT applies only on sell (0.025%). Brokerage for delivery is often zero at discount brokers; intraday is ₹20/order. On ₹1 lakh: delivery STT = ₹200, intraday STT = ₹25 — making intraday cheaper for short-term traders.
