How Does the Margin Calculator Work?

The Margin Calculator computes the exact initial margin capital required to take intraday (MIS) and delivery (CNC) equity and derivative trade positions based on stock price, trade quantity, and broker leverage multipliers.

By inputting your customized parameters into the calculator sliders or numeric input fields above, the tool immediately processes the mathematical formulas in real time to generate interactive visual graphs, principal vs interest splits, and detailed summary tables.

Margin Calculation Formula

Required Margin = (Stock Price × Quantity) / Leverage Multiplier (or × Margin %)

Variables Explained:

Total Position Value Stock Share Price × Number of Shares Bought/Sold
Leverage (Multiplier) Leverage provided by the broker (e.g., 5x for MIS intraday under SEBI guidelines)
Required Capital The actual cash/collateral margin deducted from your trading account balance

Intraday Margin Example

With 5x leverage on intraday equity, you only need ₹30,000 in your trading account to execute a ₹1,50,000 stock trade position.

Example Input Parameters:

  • Stock Price ₹1,500 per share
  • Trade Quantity 100 Shares (Position Value = ₹1,50,000)
  • Broker Leverage 5x (20% Margin Requirement)

Calculated Output Summary:

  • Total Trade Exposure ₹1,50,000
  • Required Margin Capital ₹30,000
  • Leveraged Capital ₹1,20,000

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Margin is the upfront collateral or minimum cash required in your trading account to open a leveraged position with your broker.

Under SEBI peak margin regulations, Indian brokers must collect 100% of the prescribed VaR+ELM margin for intraday and F&O trades, capping intraday leverage at roughly 5x (20% margin) on equity shares.

If the market moves against your leveraged position and your account balance drops below the maintenance margin threshold, your broker will trigger a margin call or automatically square off your position.
