Forex Margin Calculator
Estimate required margin using position units, market price and leverage.
Your estimate
Calculated from your inputs. No account details are sent.
How the calculation works
Margin = position units × market price × quote-to-account exchange rate ÷ leverage.
Worked example
100,000 EUR/USD units at 1.10 with 30:1 leverage require approximately 3,666.67 USD margin.
Before you use the result
If your account currency differs from the pair’s quote currency, enter the number of account-currency units for one quote-currency unit. For example, a USD account and EUR/USD have a conversion rate of 1. Enter a current conversion rate for other combinations.
A standard lot here means 100,000 base-currency units. Broker contract sizes and margin rules can differ. Estimates exclude commissions, spread, overnight financing and slippage. Stop losses cannot guarantee a maximum loss; gaps can cause a worse execution price. Hypothetical growth is not a prediction or a promised return.
