What to know about Dhan's charges
- Delivery is ₹0, and so are ETFs, IPOs and mutual funds.
- Futures and options are a flat ₹20 per executed order, not "₹20 or 0.03%": a small futures order pays the full ₹20.
- MTF brokerage is the same as intraday: ₹20 or 0.03% per executed order, whichever is lower.
- An intraday order Dhan squares off before the close costs ₹20 + GST; an order through its trade desk costs ₹50 + GST.
- Dhan rounds stamp duty and STT to the nearest rupee on the contract note, so expect small differences from this calculator.
Dhan worked example, charge by charge
| Charge | 100 shares intraday, ₹1,000 to ₹1,010 | 50 shares delivery, ₹500 to ₹520 |

| Stamp duty | ₹3 | ₹3.75 |
| DP charge | ₹0 | ₹12.50 |
| GST | ₹8.35 | ₹2.54 |
| Total | ₹82.97 | ₹71.41 |
| Net profit after charges | ₹917.03 | ₹928.59 |
To cover the charges, the intraday trade needs a move of ₹0.83 a share and the delivery trade ₹1.43 a share.

How this calculator works
- Brokerage is charged on each executed order, so a buy and a sell pay it twice. Where Dhan states "₹X or Y%, whichever is lower", the calculator takes the lower on each order.
- STT, exchange and SEBI charges, stamp duty and GST come on top, at the NSE rates above. BSE rates differ by scrip group.
- DP charge: once per scrip on a delivery sell, as Dhan's page states it.
- Limits. Equity on NSE only: currency and commodity brokerage is in the table above but not in the calculator. One plan, after any first-30-days offer. Contract notes round some charges, so expect a few paise of difference. Charges change: check the date and Dhan's page before you trade.
