About Brokerage Charges Calculator

Trading costs stack: brokerage, exchange and regulatory fees, then indirect tax charged on top of both. The effective rate on turnover is the figure that matters, since it is what any strategy must overcome before making money.

Formula

Total charges

Total = turnover × (brokerage + exchange) × (1 + tax rate on charges)

Worked example

With the default values below, Brokerage Charges Calculator returns Total Charges of $197.65. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do flat-fee brokers always cost less?

For large trades usually yes; for small trades a flat fee can be a much larger percentage than a rate-based charge.

Are these charges deductible against gains?

Transaction costs are generally added to cost or netted from proceeds when computing capital gains — confirm locally.
