Worked example
You place a $5,000 trade with a broker charging a $10 flat fee or 0.10%, whichever is greater. 0.10% of $5,000 is $5, so the $10 flat fee applies and that is your brokerage.
Assumptions
- Uses the flat fee and percentage rate you enter; confirm actual figures on your broker's fee schedule.
- Assumes a 'greater of' fee structure, common among Australian online brokers.
- Excludes any settlement, platform or account-keeping fees charged separately.
How this calculator works
Enter the trade value, plus your broker's flat fee and percentage rate, to calculate the brokerage charged on a buy or sell order. Many Australian brokers charge whichever is greater of a flat fee or a percentage, which this calculator models directly.
Frequently asked questions
Why does it use both a flat fee and a percentage?
Most Australian brokers charge the greater of a minimum flat fee or a percentage of trade value, so both figures are needed to find the actual cost.
Is GST included?
Brokerage on ASX share trades is generally GST-free for individuals, but check your broker's fee schedule and adjust the rate field if needed.
Can I use this for both buying and selling?
Yes, apply it separately to your buy trade and your sell trade, then add both figures to your Share Profit and Loss calculation.
