Frequently asked questions
How is brokerage calculated for delivery vs intraday?
Most discount brokers (Zerodha, Upstox) charge zero brokerage on equity delivery, ₹20 (or 0.03% whichever is lower) per intraday/F&O order. Plus STT (0.1% on delivery sells, 0.025% on intraday sells), 18% GST on brokerage, transaction charges (NSE/BSE), SEBI charges (₹10/cr), and stamp duty (varies by state and segment). The brokerage calculator factors all of these.
What's the difference between CAGR and XIRR?
CAGR measures the constant annual rate that would produce your final value from a single starting investment over a single time period. XIRR handles irregular cash flows — like SIPs where you invest different amounts at different dates. For lump-sum investments use CAGR; for SIPs/SWPs use XIRR.
How is F&O margin calculated?
F&O margin is the higher of SPAN (statistical risk model) plus exposure margin. For futures it's typically 10-20% of contract value. For options buying it's the premium paid; for options selling it's similar to futures margin. The F&O margin calculator estimates based on standard SPAN methodology used by NSE.
What's a healthy dividend yield?
Indian large-cap dividend yields run 1-2% on average (lower than US). Above 4% often indicates either a value opportunity or a stressed business that may cut dividends. Compare against the company's historical yield range and the sector average rather than absolute number.
