The Margin Trading Facility (MTF) Calculator is a tool offered by Bajaj Broking that helps users estimate the margin requirements associated with margin trading. Margin trading involves using borrowed funds to buy securities, with traders providing cash or eligible shares as collateral. The calculator is intended to give users a clearer understanding of how much margin may be needed and how leverage may affect their trades. It is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
Margin Trading Facility (MTF) lets you buy shares by paying only a portion of the total value, while the broker finances the rest. This helps you take larger positions without blocking your entire capital. MTF is commonly used by traders who want to capture opportunities without having their funds tied up in a single trade.
MTF is useful when you want to:
An MTF Calculator helps you estimate how much funding you will receive from the broker and the cost of using margin. You simply enter the stock price, investment amount, desired quantity, interest rate, and brokerage. The calculator instantly displays the funded amount, your required contribution, and the total charges.
It helps you understand:
Under MTF, leverage allows you to buy more shares than your available capital permits. The broker finances the remaining portion, and you pay interest on that borrowed amount. Interest is charged daily and depends on the number of days you hold your MTF position. Brokerage is applicable to both ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ transactions.
Key components:
MTF charges include interest on the funded amount, brokerage on trades, and any applicable regulatory charges. The basic formula is:
Interest = (Funded Amount × Interest Rate × Number of Days) ÷ 365
Example:
If the broker funds ₹80,000 at 12% annual interest for 20 days:
Interest = 80,000 × 12% × 20 ÷ 365 = ₹526
The calculator adds brokerage, GST, SEBI fees, and other costs to show your total MTF charge.
An MTF calculator helps you understand the true cost of using margin before placing a trade. It gives you a clear view of interest costs, the funded amount, and your required contribution.
