# What is a Margin calculator?

## Short answer

The margin calculator helps you calculate the margins required and the leverage offered for trades in all segments. You can use it to check allowed strike prices in index F&O contracts, determine margin benefits for multi-leg F&O strategies across multiple segments, and monitor contracts under the ban period.

You can also check required margins on the order window and using basket orders.
