Margin and Leverage Calculator
See how leverage multiplies both the position you control and the return on your own money.
Method
How it works
Capital multiplied by leverage gives the controlled position size. Dividing that position by entry price calculates units, and the move from entry to exit is applied to all units.
Return on capital compares profit or loss with the user's capital rather than the full position. The model shows how leverage scales exposure but does not model liquidation, margin interest, funding, fees or maintenance requirements.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How does leverage affect profit and loss?
The calculator multiplies capital by leverage, so the same price move is applied to a larger position and produces a larger gain or loss.
What does borrowed amount mean?
It is the calculated position size minus the user's entered capital.
Does this calculator estimate liquidation price?
No. It calculates position exposure and return only; liquidation rules and maintenance margin are not included.
