Intraday P&L Calculator
Calculate gross and net profit/loss, point moves, and return on capital for day trading.
How the Calculation Works
Read parameters and compute total exposure: multiply order quantity by contract unit multiplier.
Evaluate terminal return at the selected target price using strict financial mathematical boundary logic.
Deduct upfront capital commitments, taxes, or net debits to produce final net profit or loss realization.
Calculation Formula
Example Calculation
100 shares bought at ₹500 and sold at ₹540 with ₹20 charges.
A 40-point move generates ₹4,000 gross. After ₹20 round-trip fees, net in-hand profit is ₹3,980.
Assumptions & Parameters
- Brokerage and taxes apply uniformly to round-trip execution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is intraday P&L calculated?
Price movement multiplied by shares minus all transaction fees.
What is gross vs net P&L?
Gross is pure price gain; net deducts all taxes, STT, and broker commissions.
How is return on margin calculated?
Net profit divided by required intraday margin capital, multiplied by 100.
What is a break-even exit price?
The exact square-off price where trade gross gain equals total transaction fees.
Can intraday P&L be negative even if points were gained?
Yes, if the gross points gained are smaller than total round-trip brokerage and taxes.
How do short trades work in intraday?
You sell first at a higher price and buy back later at a lower price to profit.
