How a unit redemption resolves into a taxable gain and a net figure, line by line, from the values you entered. The exit load is deducted from proceeds before the cost is subtracted, so it lowers both the cash you receive and the gain.

It reduces what you receive before the gain is even measured
An exit load is a percentage the fund house deducts when you redeem within a specified period, typically one year. It is charged on the redemption value, so it reduces the proceeds directly — and because the gain is measured on proceeds net of the load, it also reduces the tax slightly.
That double effect is the reason it deserves its own input rather than being folded into the NAV. A 1% load on a redemption is not a 1% reduction in your return; it is a 1% reduction in proceeds plus a smaller offsetting reduction in tax.
The applicable NAV depends on cut-off timing
Funds do not trade continuously. The NAV applied to a redemption is the one struck at the end of the applicable business day, determined by whether the request was received before the cut-off. A request placed after cut-off, or on a non-business day, takes the following day’s NAV.
For planning this rarely matters, but for a redemption timed around a holding-period threshold it can. If you are redeeming to land on a particular side of a date, the NAV date that governs is the one to confirm with the fund house.
Which rate applies depends on what the fund holds
Fund taxation usually turns on the portfolio rather than the wrapper. Equity-oriented funds, debt funds and hybrid funds commonly face different holding-period thresholds and different rates, and those rules have been revised repeatedly in several jurisdictions.
This tool takes the rate from you precisely because the classification is the hard part. Establish the fund’s category and the treatment in force for your redemption date, then supply the rate — the arithmetic after that is simple.
Averaging, exemptions and systematic plans
One buy NAV is assumed for every unit redeemed. Units bought through a systematic plan were acquired at many different NAVs, so the applicable cost is an averaging or matching question that has to be settled before this calculation can be correct.
Annual exemption thresholds, set-off of losses against other gains, and any surcharge or cess are not applied. The output is the gain net of exit load and the headline tax on it, which is the starting point for a return rather than the end of one.
