Why might the actual charges differ from estimated charges on order execution?
The Price breakup feature in FYERS shows an estimated preview of brokerage and regulatory charges before you place an order. However, the final charges in your contract note may not match exactly. This is because the estimate is based on assumptions and real-time values like the Last Traded Price (LTP), not the final execution price.
What causes the difference between estimated and actual charges?
There are two main reasons why the actual charges may vary slightly from what you see in the price breakup window:
1. Orders are estimated using the Last Traded Price (LTP), not the executed price
When you check the price breakup, the charges are calculated based on the LTP at that moment. However, once the order is placed, the price may change slightly before execution.
Mr. Mahin places a market order to buy 100 shares of SBIN at an LTP of ₹535.80. The price breakup estimates total charges as ₹22.80.
But the order executes at ₹536.50. The actual charges come to ₹22.82—just ₹0.02 higher due to the small difference in price.
2. Charges are calculated assuming the order executes in a single trade
Example:
Mr. Mahin places a market order to buy 4 lots of BANKNIFTY 41400PE options at ₹100.
The price breakup shows ₹20 brokerage (assuming 1 full order). But if the trade executes in two parts (2+2 lots), the brokerage becomes ₹40 + GST (₹20 per executed order).
What if...
| Scenario | Why the charges differ |
|---|---|
| LTP changes before execution | Estimated breakup used LTP; actual used executed price |
| Order gets split into multiple trades | Brokerage applies per executed trade, not total quantity |
| Checking only one side of transaction | The breakup shows only Buy or Sell side, not both |
| Final execution price is lower | Final charges may be lower than estimated too |
Notes
- Orders are executed based on live bid/ask availability on the exchange.
- FYERS does not control execution price or order splitting.
- Price breakup shows charges for one side only (Buy or Sell).
