NEPSE Transaction Charges: Complete Breakdown for FY 2081/82
Every NEPSE transaction involves multiple charges:
Broker Commission (Buying and Selling)
| Transaction Amount (NPR) | Commission Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 50,000 | 0.6% |
| 50,001 – 5,00,000 | 0.5% |
| 5,00,001 – 20,00,000 | 0.45% |
| Above 20,00,000 | 0.4% |
SEBON Regulation Fee
0.015% of transaction amount on both buy and sell sides. Paid to Securities Board of Nepal.
DP (Depository Participant) Charge
NPR 25 flat fee per company per transaction — charged only on the sell side.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
- 5% on gains from shares held for more than 365 days (long-term)
- 7.5% on gains from shares held 365 days or less (short-term)
- CGT applies only on profitable sales
WACC Calculation for Multiple NEPSE Purchases
WACC (Weighted Average Cost per share) is crucial when you have bought the same share at different prices.
Formula
WACC = Total Amount Invested (including all charges) ÷ Total Shares PurchasedExample
| Transaction | Shares | Price | Amount | Broker (0.5%) | SEBON (0.015%) | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | 50 | 800 | 40,000 | 200 | 6 | 40,206 |
| Buy 2 | 30 | 850 | 25,500 | 127.5 | 3.83 | 25,631.33 |
| Total | 80 | — | 65,500 | 327.5 | 9.83 | 65,837.33 |
WACC = 65,837.33 ÷ 80 = NPR 822.97 per share
How to Calculate Net Profit or Loss on NEPSE Shares
Complete worked example: selling 80 shares of NABIL at NPR 950 after 400 days (long-term):
Gross sell amount = 80 × 950 = NPR 76,000
Sell-side charges: Broker (0.5%) = 380 | SEBON (0.015%) = 11.40 | DP = 25 | Total = NPR 416.40
Net sell proceeds = 76,000 - 416.40 = NPR 75,583.60
Gross profit = 75,583.60 - 65,837.33 = NPR 9,746.27
CGT (5% long-term) = 9,746.27 × 0.05 = NPR 487.31
Net Profit = NPR 9,258.96 | Return = 14.07%
How to Calculate NEPSE Break-Even (Target Price)
The break-even price is the minimum sell price to avoid a loss:
Break-Even Price ≈ WACC × 1.00515 + (25 ÷ Shares)Example: WACC = NPR 822.97 | Shares = 80
Break-Even = 822.97 × 1.00515 + (25/80) = 827.21 + 0.31 = NPR 827.52
Practical Tips
- Always use WACC (not simple average price) as your reference
- Wait for long-term CGT eligibility (365+ days) on large profitable positions — saves 2.5%
- Bonus shares reduce your WACC — recalculate after receiving them
- Rights shares require fresh investment — add to total cost and recalculate WACC

Frequently Asked Questions
What is broker commission rate in NEPSE in 2026?+−
NEPSE broker commission is tiered: 0.6% for transactions up to NPR 50,000; 0.5% for NPR 50,001–5,00,000; 0.45% for NPR 5,00,001–20,00,000; and 0.4% above NPR 20,00,000. Commission is charged on both buying and selling transactions for FY 2081/82.
What is capital gains tax on NEPSE shares?+−
Capital gains tax is 7.5% for short-term (shares held 365 days or less) and 5% for long-term (more than 365 days). CGT only applies when selling at a profit. The tax is automatically deducted by the broker at settlement.
What does WACC mean in NEPSE context?+−
In NEPSE, WACC (Weighted Average Cost per share) is your average cost per share when you have bought the same stock multiple times at different prices. It includes all buy-side charges. WACC is the true break-even reference — not your simple average buy price.
Is DP charge applicable on buying NEPSE shares?+−
No — the DP charge of NPR 25 per company is only charged on the sell side. It covers transfer of share ownership from your account to the buyer's CDS account. This flat fee is charged once per company per sell transaction, regardless of number of shares sold.
How do bonus shares affect my NEPSE profit calculation?+−
Bonus shares do not involve fresh cash investment but increase your share count. Recalculate WACC: new WACC = Total Cost ÷ (Original + Bonus Shares). This reduces your WACC and break-even price. Example: 100 shares at NPR 800 WACC with 20% bonus → new WACC = 80,000 ÷ 120 = NPR 666.67.
