What is MTF (Margin Trading Facility)?
Margin Trading Facility allows investors to buy stocks by paying only a fraction of the total trade value upfront, with the broker funding the remaining amount against interest — increasing buying power but also carrying interest cost and leverage risk.
How the MTF calculator works
You enter the total trade value and the margin percentage you are funding yourself; the calculator computes the broker-funded amount and the interest charged on that funded amount for your chosen holding period using a simple daily-interest formula.
How to use this tool
- Enter the total value of stock you want to purchase.
- Enter the margin percentage you will pay yourself (the rest is funded by the broker).
- Enter the broker's annual MTF interest rate and your expected holding period in days.
