How the margin calculator works
Gross margin is profit as a share of the selling price: (price - cost) / price. Markup is profit as a share of cost: (price - cost) / cost. A $50 item sold for $80 has a 37.5% margin and a 60% markup. To hit a target margin, price = cost / (1 - margin).
Buying stock on margin means borrowing part of the price from your broker. With a 50% initial requirement you put up half. If the price falls far enough that your equity drops below the maintenance margin, the broker issues a margin call.
In forex, margin is the deposit a broker holds to open a leveraged position: trade size × exchange rate × margin ratio.
