How WACC is worked out
WACC = total cost of every buy ÷ total shares bought. A secondary-market buy costs its share amount plus broker commission, SEBON fee and DP charge, at the rates in force on the buy date. An IPO or right issue costs the issue price alone, and bonus shares cost nothing: they only add to the share count.
| Trade amount | Commission |
|---|---|
| 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.
Worked example
100 shares from an IPO at Rs 100, then two buys on the market:
| Buy | Shares | Price (Rs) | Fees (Rs) | Cost (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IPO | 100 | 100.00 | 0.00 | 10,000.00 |
| Market | 50 | 620.00 | 141.25 | 31,141.25 |
| Market | 30 | 540.00 | 85.75 | 16,285.75 |
| Total | 180 | 227.00 | 57,427.00 |
WACC = Rs 57,427.00 ÷ 180 shares = Rs 319.04 per share.
Questions
What is WACC in share market?
Weighted average cost of capital, as MeroShare uses it, is the average price you paid per share across all your buys of one company: total cost divided by total shares. Capital gains tax on a sale is worked out against it.
Does WACC include broker commission?
For secondary-market buys the cost includes broker commission, the SEBON fee (0.015%) and the Rs 25 DP charge. IPO and right shares are bought at the issue price with no broker commission.
How do bonus shares change WACC?
Bonus shares are added at zero cost: they raise the number of shares you hold without adding to what you paid, so the same total cost is spread over more shares and the WACC falls. 100 shares bought for Rs 50,000 plus a 1:1 bonus become 200 shares at Rs 250 each. Add them in the calculator as a Bonus row.
Why doesn't my WACC match MeroShare?
MeroShare uses the purchase sources you confirmed there. A missing purchase source, a different fee or a bonus share cost entered differently changes the result. Enter each buy exactly as MeroShare lists it.
