This position needs ₹20,000 in margin (5.0x leverage) — you have enough capital with ₹50,000 available.
How this calculator works
Margin is the amount of your own capital required to open a leveraged trading position — the rest is effectively financed by your broker. This calculator shows your required margin and the resulting leverage for a given position size.
Worked example: taking a position of 100 shares at ₹1,000 (₹1,00,000 total exposure) with a 20% margin requirement needs ₹20,000 of your own capital — a 5x leverage ratio, meaning a 5% move in the stock price translates to roughly a 25% move on your invested capital.
