Break Even Calculator
Find the exact sell price where you recover all your costs — buy price plus broker commission, SEBON fees, and DP charges on both sides.
Why your break even is higher than your buy price
When you buy shares, you pay more than the share price — broker commission, SEBON fee, and DP charge are added on top. When you sell, the same fees are deducted from what you receive.
This means if you buy at Rs. 500 and immediately sell at Rs. 500, you actually make a loss. Your break even sell price is always higher than your buy price to account for fees on both sides.
For a typical trade at Rs. 500 with 100 shares, your break even sell price is approximately Rs. 504.29 — about 0.86% above your buy price — before you start making a profit.
Break even formula
Break Even Price = (Total Buy Cost + DP Charge) ÷ (Qty × (1 − Commission Rate − SEBON Rate))
Where Total Buy Cost includes share amount + buy commission + buy SEBON fee + buy DP charge.
