The ones most relevant to a trader are the brokerage, margin, MTF, position size and stock average calculators. Dhan’s own brokerage example: a ₹76,000 intraday trade at 0.03% comes to ₹22.80, so the ₹20 cap applies and brokerage is ₹20.

A worked brokerage example
Dhan’s own example is an intraday buy of 50 HDFC Bank shares at ₹1,520. The trade value is ₹1,520 × 50 = ₹76,000. Brokerage is the lower of 0.03% of that, which is ₹22.80, and ₹20, so it is ₹20. Statutory charges (STT, exchange charges, SEBI fees, stamp duty and GST) are added on top and are the same at every broker. To compare the whole bill across brokers, use our brokerage calculator for 18 brokers.
