Now Live on Dhan - Transaction Estimator

Most people are scared of financial products - let’s accept this.

It always helps to know beforehand - what you are getting into while buying any financial service, to avoid a shock later. This has to do a lot with how financial products were and are sold over the years. Hidden charges, why this is free, what am I signing for, is my capital safe, and so on.

Being transparent - is one of the core beliefs at Dhan, and we want to build the product experience around this.

Introducing Transaction Estimator!

Now, for every trade that you are about to get into on Dhan, we are glad and excited to bring to you a transaction estimator that shows you a complete breakup of your transaction even before you place your order on the exchange.

What’s more -

  • Full details with all charges, including from exchange, STT, GST, Stamp Duty, SEBI Charges, DP charges, and everything else that you are required to know.
  • Get the break-even price for your transaction when you put your first leg - so you know what it takes to do a profitable trade.
  • Yes - this includes brokerage, which is anyway Zero on all Delivery orders, and just INR 20 when it comes to Trading.

Now get a close approximation of charges for ALL your trades even before you place them - No more waiting for your contract notes and P&L statements at the end of the day.

The best part is - you can also place your order from the same view where you review the full breakdown of your trade. So you can now save precious seconds when in markets.

So no more spending time and struggling with age-old brokerage calculators! All that you want is just a single tap away.

What will do we next on this - yes, you guessed it right. This will become real-time soon! :rocket:

100% transparency. 0% hidden charges - Always on Dhan!

Hi @Hiya

There are no clearing charges at Dhan. Moreover, you may check all pricing-related information below: Pricing & Brokerage Charges | Dhan

Hi @Varsha777

We have this feedback with us, we will work on this to get this implemented very soon.

While the order estimate feature is great, there’s a small glitch. The calculator fails to detect whether the security is being transacted in regular qty or in lots.

For eg - incase of Tbill, its traded in lots of 100 so even if you select 1 lot (100 qty), the calculator ignores the lot and treats 1 lot as 1 qty & shows the breakeven price according to 1 qty instead of 1 lot (100 qty).

I believe you can look into this and make the calculator understand the difference between qty & lots of qty


Hi @krishag

Thanks for highlighting this. In transaction estimator, the lot is wrongly named as quantity. We will fix this in our next release

no no. its rightly mentioned as qty.

you should show breakeven for 100 qty when 1 lot is selected.

breakeven for 1 qty is not required bcz 1 qty is not possible to trade.
