Target Price & Expected Return Calculator

 ๐ŸŽฏ Target Price & Expected Return Calculator

Because “Kitna Bechna Hai?” Shouldn’t Be a Guess ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ“ˆ



Let’s be honest.

Most traders know what they want from a trade…
but not what price they actually need to get there.

You buy a stock at ₹250 and think:

“If it goes to ₹275, I’ll book profits.”

Sounds reasonable.
Until charges enter the room like uninvited relatives. ๐Ÿ˜…

Brokerage.
STT.
Exchange charges.
GST.
Stamp duty.
DP charges.

Suddenly, your “nice little profit” quietly disappears.

That’s exactly why we built the Target Price & Expected Return Calculator is one of the 45 Stock Market Pedia calculators designed to bring clarity before the trade, not regret after it.

๐Ÿค” What This Calculator Really Answers

This calculator solves one painfully important question:

๐Ÿ‘‰ “At what price do I ACTUALLY need to sell to earn my desired return?”

Not gross profit.
Not gut feeling.
Net return — after all charges.

It tells you:

  • Your break-even price

  • Your exact target price for a chosen return %

  • Your true net profit, not the imaginary one in your head

No mental math.
No Excel gymnastics.
No “I think this should work”.

๐Ÿงพ Charges: Because the Market Never Forgets to Collect

This calculator doesn’t ignore reality.

It includes all major Indian market charges on both buy and sell sides:

✔ Brokerage (percentage or flat)
✔ STT (delivery & intraday rules handled properly)
✔ Exchange transaction charges
✔ SEBI charges
✔ Stamp duty
✔ GST
✔ DP charges (for delivery sell)

In short, what you pay is what it calculates.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Delivery or Intraday? The Calculator Knows the Difference

Markets don’t treat delivery and intraday the same — and neither does this tool.

๐Ÿ” Delivery Trades

  • STT on both buy & sell

  • Stamp duty on buy

  • DP charges on sell

⚡ Intraday Trades

  • Lower STT (sell side only)

  • No DP charges

  • Different stamp duty

You just select the trade type.
The calculator handles the math — quietly and correctly.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Percentage Brokerage or Flat Brokerage? Try Both

Some brokers charge a percentage.
Some charge a flat fee per side.

Instead of guessing:

“Will flat brokerage be cheaper here?”

This calculator politely says:

“Try both. Numbers don’t lie.” ๐Ÿ˜„

Switch between brokerage types and instantly see how your target price changes.

๐Ÿ“Š Break-Even Price: The Unsung Hero

Before dreaming of profits, one price matters more than anything:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Break-even price

This is the price where:

  • Your profit = ₹0

  • Your ego is safe

  • Your trade has officially “not failed” ๐Ÿ˜„

The calculator shows this clearly — so you know how much the stock must move just to cover costs.

Eye-opening? Usually, yes.

๐Ÿ” The Breakdown Table: Where Reality Hits Home

This is where traders pause… and stare.

The calculator shows a full charge-wise breakdown:

  • Brokerage

  • STT

  • Exchange

  • SEBI

  • GST

  • Stamp duty

  • DP charges

Separated neatly into:

  • Buy side

  • Sell side

  • Total impact

This is usually the moment people say:

“Wait… charges are THIS much?” ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Yes.
And now you know — before clicking Buy.

⚠️ What If My Target Isn’t Achievable?

The calculator is honest.

If your desired return % is not realistically achievable within reasonable price limits, it tells you upfront.

No false hope.
No magical targets.
Just a gentle reminder to:

  • Lower expectations

  • Re-check inputs

  • Or rethink the trade

Markets reward clarity, not optimism alone.

๐Ÿง  Why This Calculator Is Sneakily Powerful

Because it quietly teaches you that:

✔ Small price moves don’t always mean small profits
✔ Charges matter more than you think
✔ Planning exits is as important as entering
✔ Hope is not a strategy — math is

It turns:

“I’ll sell around here…”

into:

“I need to sell exactly here.”

⚠️ A Small Disclaimer (Because We’re Responsible Adults)

This calculator is for educational and planning purposes only.

Markets fluctuate.
Returns are never guaranteed.
But informed decisions beat guesswork every single time.

๐Ÿ Final Thought

Good traders don’t just ask:

“Will the price go up?”

They ask:

“At what price does this trade actually make sense?”

The Target Price & Expected Return Calculator gives you that answer - clearly, honestly, and without drama.

Because profits feel better when you know exactly why you earned them ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ“ˆ
