F&O Margin Calculator
Calculate the SPAN margin and exposure margin the exchange requires for futures and option writing, with the premium for options you buy. Add every leg of your strategy: the margin is worked out for the whole portfolio, so hedges and spreads get their offset, as they do at the exchange.
Margins come from the exchanges' SPAN files, which Parasram's trading platform loads several times a day. Covers NSE F&O, NSE currency and MCX commodity contracts; buying an option needs only its premium.
Add Position
Pick a contract from the list, choose buy or sell, and add as many positions as your strategy has.
Positions

SPAN and exposure come from the exchanges' SPAN files, loaded through the day on Parasram's trading platform, and are calculated for all positions together, so hedges and spreads get their offset. Parasram may add its own margin on top.
Equity delivery and intraday margin
Cash-market trades: delivery needs the full value; intraday needs a fraction set by the exchange's peak-margin rules.

SPAN, exposure and option margin: common questions
What is SPAN margin?
SPAN (Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk) margin is the minimum margin NSE requires to hold a futures or short options position. The exchange computes it from the worst likely one-day loss on the position across a range of price and volatility scenarios.
What is exposure margin?
Exposure margin is collected on top of SPAN margin as a buffer against moves larger than the SPAN scenarios. For index derivatives it is typically about 2-3% of the contract value; for stock derivatives it is higher.
What is the difference between SPAN margin and exposure margin?
SPAN margin covers the modelled worst-case one-day loss; exposure margin is an extra cushion above it. The total margin blocked for a futures or option-selling position is SPAN plus exposure.
How much margin is needed to sell options?
Selling an option needs roughly the same SPAN plus exposure margin as a futures position on the same underlying, reduced when the position is hedged. Buying an option needs only the premium, with no SPAN or exposure margin.
What is the NIFTY lot size?
NSE revises lot sizes periodically. This calculator reads NSE's current lot size for every F&O contract rather than a fixed list, and shows it for the contract you choose.
How is intraday equity margin calculated?
Intraday (MIS) equity trades require a fraction of the trade value as margin, set by the exchange's peak-margin rules and the broker; delivery (CNC) trades require the full value. The calculator applies typical percentages for each.
Disclaimer: The SPAN calculator above uses the exchanges' SPAN files through Parasram's trading platform; Parasram may collect more than the exchange minimum. The margin list's per-lot figures are quick approximations at typical SPAN and exposure rates (15% + 5% for stock futures, index-specific for indices); use the calculator for the exact figure. Lot sizes are NSE's current sizes. Not investment advice.
