Transaction Charges & Taxes in Net P&L

What's new

ASTRA now includes combined transaction charges and taxes directly in Net P&L calculations. It automatically factors in brokerage, exchange fees, and applicable taxes so your profit and loss reflects actual post-cost performance.

Why this matters

Most traders look at gross P&L and underestimate the drag from charges and taxes. Because these costs vary by broker, product, and trading style, ignoring them can give a misleading view of returns. With Net P&L including all costs, you see the real money made or lost, not just headline numbers.

What you can do now

View accurate Net P&L across all your trades with all charges and taxes factored in. Compare your trading performance with real profitability metrics. Optimize your trading decisions based on actual net returns, not gross returns.

How to calculate charges

Use the Calculate Charges button in the actions column to compute charges for a single trade.

Select multiple trades and click Calculate Charges near the table header to bulk-calculate charges.

While adding a manual trade, click Calculate Charges next to the Charges input to auto-fill the cost.

Important note

This feature is currently in a testing/beta phase while broker-wise integrations are validated for charge accuracy. ASTRA is working with major brokers to ensure precise, broker-specific cost calculations across all supported accounts
