How the bill is worked out
Each side of a trade is billed on its share amount (quantity × price). Your cost is the buy amount plus its fees. What you receive is the sell amount minus its fees and the capital gains tax on the gain.

|---|---|
| Up to Rs 50,000 | 0.36% |
| Rs 50,000.01–5,00,000 | 0.33% |
| Rs 5,00,000.01–20,00,000 | 0.31% |
| Rs 20,00,000.01–1,00,00,000 | 0.27% |
| Above Rs 1,00,00,000 | 0.24% |
The rate of the slab a bill falls in applies to the whole amount, with a minimum of Rs 10 per bill. In force since 14 May 2024.

Questions
How much is broker commission in NEPSE?

How is capital gains tax calculated on shares in Nepal?
On the gain after buy and sell fees: sale amount less sell commission, SEBON fee and DP charge, minus your cost including buy fees. Individuals pay 5% when the shares were held 365 days or less and 3.75% when held longer. A loss pays no tax.
What is the DP charge?
A Rs 25 fee from your depository participant for each scrip on each settlement day, on buys and on sales. Two buys of the same share on one day pay it once.
What is the break-even price?
The lowest sell price at which you get back everything you paid, including both sets of fees. At that price there is no gain, so no capital gains tax.
Why does my broker bill differ by a few paisa?
Brokers round each line of the bill, and several fills of one share on the same day are billed together. This calculator bills one buy and one sale, rounding each line to the paisa.
