How to use the margin calculator

The FxPro Margin Calculator works out exactly how much margin is required in order to guarantee a position that you would like to open. This helps you determine whether you should reduce the lot size you are trading, or adjust the leverage you are using, taking into account your account balance. Select your trading instrument, your trade size, leverage and account currency, and click ‘Calculate’. Our Margin Calculator will do the rest.

Forex margin calculation formula and examples

Example:

Trading 3 lots of EUR/USD using 1:200 leverage with an account denominated in USD.

Trade size:

300,000

Account currency exchange rate:

1.13798

Required Margin

300,000 / 200 * 1.13798 = $1706.97

For forex, the margin calculation works as follows:

Required Margin = Trade Size / Leverage * account currency exchange rate (if different from the base currency of the pair traded)

Example:

Trading 1 lot (100 Oz) of GOLD with an account denominated in USD

0.01 * 100 = 1

Each tick is worth $1

For metals, you calculate tick value instead of pip value, and the Pip Calculator works as follows:

Tick Value = Tick in decimals (0.01) * Number of Oz
