1. What is Upstox Intraday Brokerage?

Upstox intraday brokerage is calculated as the minimum of ₹20 or 0.05% of the turnover per trade side. This calculator helps traders estimate their brokerage costs for intraday trading on the Upstox platform.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Upstox intraday brokerage formula:

Where:

• \( Turnover \) — Total trade value in Indian Rupees
• \( 0.05\% \) — Brokerage rate for intraday trades
• \( ₹20 \) — Maximum brokerage cap per trade side

Explanation: The formula ensures that brokerage doesn't exceed ₹20 per trade side, making it cost-effective for high-value trades.
