About the NEPSE profit and loss calculator

Trading shares on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) involves far more than the gap between your buy and sell price. Broker commission, the SEBON regulatory fee, DP charges and capital gains tax all nibble away at what actually reaches your account. This calculator takes a completed trade — buy price, sell price, quantity and holding period — and works out the true profit or loss after every one of those charges, so the settlement figure does not surprise you.

Charges on every NEPSE trade

Each side pays equity commission on the full transaction value at its applicable band (0.36% to 0.24%, NPR 10 minimum), plus 0.015% SEBON transaction fee. The model charges NPR 25 DP on the sale only, once per scrip and settlement day. It assumes one purchase order and one sale order. Reconcile actual charges with the broker contract note.

Capital gains tax on shares

The later Gazette notice dated 2083/05/31 sets 5% for qualifying resident individuals holding for 365 days or less, and 3.75% for more than 365 days. The earlier Finance Act 2083 baseline was 10% / 7.5%; the 2082/83 schedule was 7.5% / 5%. Resident entities use 10%. Choose the schedule applicable to your disposal, including the implementation record for a transition sale; a fiscal-year label alone cannot identify the applicable rates.

This simple single-purchase model treats purchase value plus modeled buy charges as both cash cost and tax acquisition basis. It excludes corporate actions and special exemptions. If your accepted MeroShare tax WACC differs, use the dedicated break-even, target-profit or IPO tools, which expose tax WACC separately. Reviewed 30 October 2026.

Breakeven price

The model searches for the minimum sale price, rounded upward to NPR 0.10 increments, that covers the modeled costs and tax. It does not check permitted price bands, available liquidity or actual order execution.

Frequently asked questions

What charges apply when buying and selling shares in NEPSE?
The model applies equity brokerage and 0.015% SEBON transaction fee to both sides, and NPR 25 DP on the sale only. The selected capital gains tax rate applies only to positive modeled gains. Actual contract notes and settlement grouping control the final amounts.
What is the broker commission rate?
Commission follows a slab based on trade value: 0.36% up to Rs 50,000, 0.33% up to Rs 5 lakh, 0.31% up to Rs 20 lakh, 0.27% up to Rs 1 crore, and 0.24% above that, with a Rs 10 minimum.
How much is capital gains tax on shares in Nepal?
The later Gazette dated 2083/05/31 sets 5% for qualifying resident individuals holding 365 days or less and 3.75% beyond 365 days. Earlier Finance Act 2083 rates were 10% / 7.5%; resident entities remain 10%. Select the applicable schedule for your actual disposal.
Why is my net profit lower than the price difference?
Buy and sell orders incur commission and SEBON fees, while the model applies DP on the sale. Any positive modeled gain is taxed at the selected rate. These costs reduce your cash profit compared with the gross price difference.
How is share profit calculated in Nepal?
Subtract buy value and modeled acquisition charges from sale value less sale charges and CGT. This simple tool assumes acquisition cost equals tax basis; actual accepted WACC and corporate actions can require different tax treatment.
How does the holding period affect capital gains tax?
Exactly 365 days remains short-term; 366 days or more is long-term. The later Gazette uses 5% / 3.75% for qualifying resident individuals. Both the selected schedule and actual disposal/holding records matter.
What is the breakeven price for a share trade?
It is the sell price per share at which your net profit is exactly zero after all charges and tax. Selling below it locks in a loss; selling above it makes a profit.
