NEPSE Share Calculator
What will you actually take home? Broker commission, SEBON levy, DP charge and capital gains tax by holding period — worked out before you sell, not after.
A free NEPSE capital gain tax calculator that does the whole chain: what the shares cost you including buying fees, what the sale returns after broker commission, SEBON levy and DP charge, and what the tax office takes at 5%, 7.5% or 10% depending on how long you held and who you are.

Your trade
What it cost to buy
What the sale returns
Capital gain is calculated against your total buy cost including fees, which is the correct base and the thing most quick calculators get wrong. Broker commission tiers, the SEBON levy and DP charges are set by circular and change from time to time — confirm against the current SEBON notice before relying on a figure for a large trade. This tool does not account for bonus or right share adjustments to your WACC.
One trade is a calculator. A portfolio is a tracker.
A free account remembers every buy and sell, keeps your WACC correct across bonus and right shares, tracks dividends, and tells you which holdings are days away from the long-term tax band.
NEPSE fees and tax — frequently asked questions
How is capital gains tax calculated on shares in Nepal?
Capital gains tax applies to the profit, not the sale amount. Take your sale proceeds after broker commission, SEBON levy and DP charge, subtract your total buying cost including the fees you paid on purchase, and tax the remainder. For individuals the rate is 5% if the shares were held 365 days or more and 7.5% if held less. Institutions pay 10%.
What is the difference between the 5% and 7.5% capital gains tax?
It is purely the holding period. An individual who has held a listed share for 365 days or more pays 5% on the gain; under 365 days it is 7.5%. On a Rs 100,000 gain that difference is Rs 2,500, which is why it is often worth checking the date of your oldest lot before selling.
How much is broker commission in Nepal?
Broker commission on equity is tiered by transaction size, from about 0.36% on small trades down to roughly 0.24% on very large ones, with a minimum of Rs 10. It is charged on both the buy and the sell side, so a round trip pays it twice. Rates are set by SEBON circular and do change.
What is the DP charge and who takes it?
The Depository Participant charge is a flat fee of Rs 25 per company per settlement, taken by the DP that holds your demat account. It is charged on both buying and selling, and it is per script — so a day of trading five different companies attracts five separate DP charges on each side.
Do I pay tax on dividends from NEPSE shares?
Yes, but you do not pay it separately. Dividend tax is deducted at source by the company before the cash reaches you, so the amount credited to your account is already net. This is different from capital gains tax, which is settled when you sell.
Is my WACC the same as my average buy price?
Not quite. The weighted average cost that matters for tax includes the broker commission, SEBON levy and DP charge you paid when buying, spread across the shares. Using the raw purchase price alone overstates your gain and makes you pay more tax than you owe.
