About the Groww brokerage calculator
Groww is India's most-downloaded investing app, built first for mutual funds
before expanding into stocks, F&O, and commodities. Equity delivery and intraday are both charged at ₹20
or 0.1% per order (whichever lower), with a ₹5 minimum — notably, Groww does not offer free
delivery, which surprises many users coming from Zerodha or Dhan. Futures and options are a flat ₹20 per
executed order, and Groww charges zero demat AMC, keeping the cost structure simple and predictable.

KEEP IN MIND
A common assumption is that Groww offers zero-brokerage delivery like Zerodha — it doesn't.
Every delivery trade on Groww attracts brokerage (₹20 or 0.1%, whichever lower), so if you're a
long-term buy-and-hold investor making frequent small purchases (e.g. via a stock SIP), those flat
fees add up. Compare the actual delivery cost here against a zero-delivery-brokerage broker if
delivery investing is your primary use case.
Worked example — Intraday: 100 shares, ₹1,000 → ₹1,010
On a 100-share intraday trade bought at ₹1,000 and sold at ₹1,010 through Groww, the
brokerage component comes to ₹40.00 and total charges
across brokerage, STT, exchange fees, SEBI fee, stamp duty and GST add up to
₹82.72. On a gross profit of ₹1,000 (before charges), that
leaves a net P&L of ₹917.28 — run your own numbers in the
calculator above for any price, quantity or segment.
Delivery brokerage shown is the round-trip charge (buy + sell legs combined) on a ₹1,00,000 turnover trade, for like-for-like comparison — see each broker's own page for their exact formula.
Frequently asked questions
Is brokerage free on Groww delivery trades?
No — this is a common misconception. Groww charges ₹20 or 0.1% per order (whichever lower), subject to a ₹5 minimum, on equity delivery trades, just like its intraday charges. Groww does not offer a zero-brokerage delivery plan.
Does Groww charge demat AMC?
No, Groww charges ₹0 annual maintenance charge (AMC) on its demat account, matching most other modern discount brokers.
What does Groww charge for F&O trading?
Groww charges a flat ₹20 per executed order on both futures and options, applied separately to the buy and sell legs, with no percentage-based alternative for F&O.
What is Groww's DP charge?
Groww charges ₹20 + GST per scrip, per day, as DP (Depository Participant) charge, deducted only when you sell shares held in your demat account — in line with the industry-standard ₹20 most discount brokers charge.
Is Groww good for first-time investors?
Groww's mutual-fund-first design and simple interface make it popular with first-time investors who start with SIPs before moving into direct stocks and F&O. For pure cost on frequent equity delivery trades, it's broadly comparable to Upstox and slightly more expensive than Zerodha or Dhan, which waive delivery brokerage entirely.

This calculator is built for educational and estimation purposes, referencing publicly available SEBI, NSE, BSE and MCX circulars along with each broker's published rate card. Actual charges on your contract note may vary.
01Securities Transaction Tax (STT)
STT is levied by the Government of India under the Securities Transaction Tax Act, 2004, and collected by the exchange on every executed trade. Equity delivery attracts 0.1% on both buy and sell legs; equity intraday attracts 0.025% on the sell leg only. Futures attract 0.05% on the sell-side turnover and options attract 0.15% on the sell-side premium, per the rates effective 1 April 2026 (Union Budget 2026-27). STT is non-refundable and applies irrespective of profit or loss.
02Exchange transaction charges
NSE and BSE levy transaction charges on turnover to fund exchange operations and infrastructure, as specified in their respective circulars. These charges differ by segment (equity, futures, options) and are charged to the broker, who passes them through to the client. Rates are revised periodically by the exchange and published on nseindia.com and bseindia.com.
03SEBI turnover fees
Under SEBI (Regulation of Fees) regulations, a turnover fee of ₹10 per crore (0.0001%) is charged on the total transaction value to fund SEBI's regulatory functions. This is a flat statutory levy uniformly applied across all brokers and segments.
04Stamp duty
Stamp duty on securities transactions is levied under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, as amended by the Finance Act, 2019, and is charged uniformly pan-India on the buy-side consideration, collected by the depository/exchange. Rates: 0.015% for equity delivery, 0.003% for intraday and options premium, and 0.002% for futures.
05GST
Goods and Services Tax at 18% is levied on brokerage and on exchange transaction & SEBI charges (the "taxable services" component), under the CGST/SGST or IGST Act depending on the client's registered state. GST is not applicable on STT, stamp duty, or the SEBI turnover fee itself, as these are statutory levies, not services.
06DP (Depository Participant) charges
When you sell shares held in your demat account, your Depository Participant (broker) levies a DP charge (typically ₹13–₹25 + GST per scrip, per day), payable to CDSL/NSDL for debiting securities from your demat account. This is separate from brokerage and applies only on delivery sells, not on intraday or F&O trades.
