How to Calculate Stock Profit and Loss

Your gross profit or loss is the difference between your sell value and buy value. Net profit deducts all transaction charges including brokerage, STT, exchange fees, GST, and stamp duty. Use our Brokerage Calculator to estimate total charges, then enter them here.

Gross P&L = (Sell Price − Buy Price) × Quantity Net P&L = Gross P&L − Total Charges Net Return % = Net P&L ÷ Buy Value × 100

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For equity delivery trades, include brokerage, STT on both buy and sell, exchange transaction charges, SEBI turnover fees, GST, stamp duty on the buy side, and DP charges. Use our brokerage calculator to estimate the current breakdown.
  • Yes, but the charges differ. For futures and options, brokerage is typically ₹20 per order, STT applies only on the sell side at different rates, and exchange charges differ from equity.
  • For intraday short sells, the buy price is the price at which you cover (buy back), and the sell price is your initial short entry. The formula is identical — the calculator handles this correctly.
