# 💰 Margin Calculator
Calculate the required margin for any forex or gold trade. Know your capital requirements before entering a position.

**Answer Capsule:** Required margin = (Lot Size x Contract Size x Price) / Leverage. This calculator tells you exactly how much capital your broker will lock up as collateral for any position. Essential for managing account equity.

## How Margin Is Calculated

**Formula:** Required Margin = (Position Size × Current Price) ÷ Leverage

**Example:** 1 standard lot EURUSD (100,000 units) at 1.0850 with 1:30 leverage:

Notional Value = 100,000 × 1.0850 = $108,500

Required Margin = $108,500 ÷ 30 = $3,616.67
**Note:** Leverage does not affect your risk — it only affects how much capital you need to open a position. Your risk is determined by position size and stop loss distance, not leverage.
