The Margin Calculator estimates the amount of funds required to open a Forex position. Select a symbol and account currency, specify the leverage and trade size, and the calculator will estimate the required margin. The table also allows you to compare requirements across available currency pairs using the selected parameters.
Actual margin requirements may differ depending on your broker's contract specifications, leverage rules, and account settings.
Margin is the amount of funds required to open and maintain a leveraged trading position. It represents only a portion of the position's total nominal value.
Higher leverage generally reduces the margin required for a position of the same size. For example, a position opened with 1:100 leverage normally requires less margin than the same position opened with 1:20 leverage.
Actual margin is determined by the broker's symbol specifications and account settings. Margin rates may also vary by instrument, position size, account type, and current trading conditions.
