About the Currency Options Brokerage Calculator
Currency options (such as USDINR options) are priced on premium, with 1,000 units per lot. ATS charges a flat ₹10 per order, and like currency futures there is no STT on currency options.
Enter your buy and sell premium and the number of lots; the 1,000-unit multiplier is applied automatically. The calculator totals brokerage, exchange charges, 18% GST, the SEBI fee and stamp duty to give your net P&L.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there STT on currency options?
No. STT does not apply to currency derivatives, including currency options — only exchange charges, GST, SEBI fee and stamp duty apply alongside brokerage.
How is brokerage charged on currency options?
ATS charges a flat ₹10 per order on currency options. A round trip (buy and sell) therefore costs ₹20 in brokerage plus statutory charges.
What is the lot size for currency options?
Each currency options lot covers 1,000 units of the base currency; the calculator applies this multiplier when valuing your premium.
What exchange charges apply to currency options?
Exchange transaction charges on currency options are 0.035% of premium on NSE and 0.001% on BSE — use the exchange toggle to compare the two.
Why is stamp duty so low on currency options?
Stamp duty on currency options is just 0.0001% of the buy-side value — among the lowest of any segment — because it is levied on the premium paid.
