What is margin Calculator?

A Margin Calculator is a tool that helps traders estimate the margin required to open and maintain a position in the financial markets. It is commonly used for both intraday and delivery trading.

It takes into account factors such as trade size, leverage, and margin percentage to calculate how much capital is required before entering a trade. This helps traders understand their risk and plan their trades more effectively.

In many cases, the applicable margin may be around 12.50%, depending on the stock and broker conditions. However, as per SEBI regulations, for intraday trading, a minimum margin of 20% is required (which effectively allows up to 5x leverage). So even if lower margin is shown in some calculations, intraday trading must follow SEBI’s minimum margin rule.

Margin requirements can also be checked on the NSE website:
