Free Stock Profit Calculator India 2026 — STCG, LTCG, Zerodha Groww Charges, Breakeven

SuccessMate's Stock P&L Calculator is India's most comprehensive free stock profit and loss calculator — updated for Budget 2024 tax rates. Calculate exact net profit after all statutory charges: STT (Securities Transaction Tax), Exchange Transaction Charges (NSE 0.00297%), Stamp Duty, SEBI fees, and GST — across Delivery, Intraday, and F&O (Options) trades. Unlike basic calculators on Zerodha, Groww, or Screener that handle only one segment, SuccessMate covers all three trade types in a single tool with broker-specific presets for Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, and Angel One.

STCG & LTCG Tax Rates 2026 — Budget 2024 Updated

Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) on equity shares held under 1 year are taxed at 20% (revised upward from 15% in Budget 2024). Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) on equity held over 1 year are taxed at 12.5% on gains exceeding ₹1.25 lakh annually (exemption increased from ₹1 lakh in Budget 2024). Intraday trading profits are taxed as speculative business income at your income slab rate — not as capital gains. The breakeven price feature shows the exact selling price needed to cover all brokerage, STT, exchange charges, and taxes — essential for options and intraday traders working on thin margins.

India Stock Tax — STCG & LTCG 2026

Short-term capital gains (STCG) — held less than 12 months: taxed at 20% (raised from 15% in Union Budget 2024). Long-term capital gains (LTCG) — held 12+ months, gains above ₹1.25 lakh: taxed at 12.5% without indexation. Securities Transaction Tax (STT) applies on every equity trade. NRIs from USA, UK, Canada, Australia and Germany also pay DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) rates — typically 10–15% depending on treaty.

How to Calculate True Net Return

Net profit = (Selling price − Buying price) × quantity − brokerage − STT − exchange charges − GST on brokerage. Brokerage: discount brokers (Zerodha, Groww) charge ₹20/trade flat; full-service brokers charge 0.3%–0.5%. Annualised return = [(1 + Total Return)^(365/Days Held)] − 1. Always compare annualised returns across all investments — stocks, FD, PPF — to make informed decisions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is STCG and LTCG tax on stocks in 2026? ▾

STCG (Short Term Capital Gains) — equity shares sold within 1 year — taxed at 20% (revised from 15% in Budget 2024). LTCG (Long Term Capital Gains) — shares sold after 1 year — taxed at 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh annually. For FY 2025-26, LTCG exemption limit is ₹1.25 lakh per year.

What is the breakeven price in stock trading? ▾

Breakeven price is the minimum selling price at which your trade makes zero profit after all charges (brokerage, STT, exchange fees, GST). For a Zerodha delivery trade, the breakeven is the buy price + all statutory charges. For intraday, breakeven is much tighter since STT is only on sell side. Our calculator shows exact breakeven per share.

Does Zerodha charge brokerage on delivery trades? ▾

No — Zerodha charges ₹0 brokerage for equity delivery (buy and hold). However, STT (0.1% on both buy and sell), exchange transaction charges (0.00297%), stamp duty (0.015%), SEBI fees, and 18% GST still apply. For intraday, Zerodha charges ₹20 flat or 0.03% whichever is lower per executed order.

How are F&O profits taxed in India? ▾

F&O (Futures and Options) profits are taxed as non-speculative business income — at your income tax slab rate (not 20% STCG). Business expenses like brokerage and internet costs can be deducted. F&O losses can be carried forward for 8 years and offset against future F&O profits. STT on options is 0.1% on sell side, and NSE exchange charge is 0.03503%.

What is tax loss harvesting? ▾

Tax loss harvesting means selling loss-making stocks before March 31 to book capital losses, which offset your capital gains, reducing your tax liability. Short-term losses can offset both STCG and LTCG. Long-term losses can only offset LTCG. Losses can be carried forward up to 8 years. Re-buying the same stock next day is allowed — there is no wash-sale rule in India.
