What the Share Calculator Includes
A quoted share price is not the final amount paid or received in a NEPSE transaction. Buying and selling can include brokerage, regulatory, and depository charges. A profitable sale can also include capital gains tax. This calculator combines those items so you can review the estimated transaction amount and cost breakdown in one place.

Capital Gains Tax on Listed Shares in Nepal
Nepal's Inland Revenue Department states that a resident individual pays 7.5% on gains from listed shares held for 365 days or less and 5% when the shares are held for more than 365 days. A resident entity is subject to a 10% rate. The calculator asks for the applicable individual rate when estimating a sale.
Tax rules and transaction charges can change. Confirm the current treatment with your broker and review the official guidance from the Inland Revenue Department before relying on an estimate.
