How is the margin calculated?

1. Using the Trading Calculator.

2. According to the formula.
The margin is calculated using the following formula:

<Margin> = <Contract size> / <Leverage>

Where:
Contract size refers to the order volume in the base currency of the trading instrument (the first currency in the ticker). The order volume of 1 lot for all currency pairs always equals 100,000 units of the instrument's base currency.
Leverage refers to the leverage value.

Example:
You buy 1 lot of EURUSD.
Account currency: EUR.
Leverage: 1:100.

Margin = 100,000 / 100 = 1,000 EUR

If your account currency differs from the instrument's base currency, you need to convert the margin amount into your account currency at the exchange rate applicable when the position is opened.

Example:
You buy 1 lot of EURUSD.
Account currency: USD.
Margin in the base currency of the asset: 1,000 EUR.
Current EURUSD exchange rate: 1.2345.

Margin = 1,000 * 1.2345 = 1,234.50 USD
