Costs and tax

Break-even price

The price you must sell at to cover every charge and come out level.

Your numbers

Rs
%

Brokers charge on a slab, so a smaller trade pays a higher percentage. Take the rate from your broker's current slab.

%

Levied on the transaction value, set by SEBON.

Rs

Flat, per company, per settlement — it does not scale with trade size. Charged on both the buy and the sell.

The rates above are defaults, not facts. Commission slabs, the SEBON fee and tax rates are set by regulation and revised without notice. These were last checked in August 2026— confirm them against your broker’s statement or SEBON before you rely on a figure.

  1. Total paid = Rs 50,212.50
  2. Sell value must cover that plus the sell-side charges
  3. Break-even sell value = (Rs 50,212.50 + Rs 25.00) ÷ (1 − 0.375%) = Rs 50,426.60
  4. Per share = Rs 50,426.60 ÷ 100 = Rs 504.27

How this is worked out

  • Selling at exactly what you paid loses money, because charges are taken on both sides of the trade.
  • The smaller the trade, the further above your buy price break-even sits — the flat DP charge is the same whether you bought Rs 2,000 or Rs 2,00,000 of stock.
