# Stock Lending Calculator

Calculate how much extra you can earn by renting your stocks.

## What is Stock Lending & Borrowing (SLBM)?

[Stock Lending and Borrowing](https://dhan.co/slbm-stock-lending-and-borrowing/) allows investors to lend their long-term stocks to borrowers for a fixed period in exchange for additional income, while still retaining ownership and enjoying benefits like dividends and bonuses.

## What is Stock Lending Calculator?

A Stock Lending Calculator helps you estimate the potential earnings from lending your stocks through the Stock Lending and Borrowing Mechanism (SLBM). With this calculator, you can easily check how much passive income you can generate based on the stock, quantity, and lending duration.

Understanding your potential earnings beforehand is essential for making informed decisions. Dhan's Stock Lending Calculator helps you understand three key aspects:

- Expected earnings from lending your stocks
- Expected earnings without lending your stocks
- Transaction charges for lending

For example, if you lend 100 shares of HDFC Bank for 30 days at an annualised lending rate of 10%, the calculator instantly shows your estimated income for that period - helping you decide whether it's worthwhile to lend your holdings.

## How to use Stock Lending Calculator?

- **Find the Stock:** Search and select the stock you want to lend under SLBM.
- **Enter Rent Details:** Add the rent per share, quantity to rent, and rental period.
- **Add Buy Details:** Fill in the buy price, quantity bought, and confirm the LTP.
- **View Your Summary:** Instantly see rent receivable, returns with/without renting, transaction charges, and profit.
- **Compare Returns:** Understand how much extra you can earn by renting your holdings.

## How does Stock Lending & Borrowing work?

Stock Lending and Borrowing allows long-term stockholders to lend their shares to borrowers (like traders or short-sellers) for a fixed period. The exchange acts as a facilitator, matching lenders with borrowers and ensuring collateral management.

Borrowers pay a fee to the lender, while the lender retains ownership benefits like dividends and bonuses. At the end of the tenure, the borrowed shares are returned to the original owner.
