Leverage Calculator

Your effective leverage from position size and equity.

Your numbers

Your result

You are trading 5× your equity, so a 20% move against you would wipe it out.

These are example numbers. Change them to your own.

  • Your equity (20%): $ 10,000
  • Borrowed (80%): $ 40,000
Effective leverage
5×
Move that wipes out equity
20%
Borrowed amount
$ 40,000

How this works

Effective leverage = position value ÷ your account equity. At 10× leverage, a 10% move against you would wipe out your equity, before any fees.
