About Pairmetric's Margin & Leverage Calculator
Pairmetric's Margin & Leverage Calculator helps you estimate the margin required to open a trading position before you place a trade. Select an instrument, enter your lot size and choose a leverage ratio, and the calculator shows the indicative margin needed in your chosen account currency.
Margin requirements vary by instrument, lot size and leverage - a higher leverage ratio reduces the margin needed to open the same position size, but also increases the risk associated with that position. Use this tool alongside Pairmetric's Risk Warning to understand how leverage affects your trading before opening a live position.

Margin & Leverage FAQ
Margin is the amount of money set aside from your account balance to open and maintain a trading position. It acts as a good-faith deposit, not a fee or a cost.
Leverage lets you control a larger position size than your account balance alone would allow, by using margin. For example, 1:100 leverage means a margin deposit can control a position 100 times its size.
Required margin is generally calculated as the position size (lot size multiplied by contract size) divided by the leverage ratio, then converted into your account currency where needed.
Yes, while higher leverage reduces the margin needed to open a position, it also magnifies both potential profits and potential losses relative to your account balance.
This calculator provides an indicative estimate based on standard contract sizes and current pricing. Your actual margin requirement may vary and is confirmed in real time in your MetaTrader 5 terminal.
