Risk Warning: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. These products may not be suitable for all investors. It is important to fully understand the risks involved and seek independent advice if necessary. You should carefully consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing money. The value of your investment may go down as well as up.
Please review our Legal Documents to understand the risks involved before you invest. See your rights and responsibilities as a retail client.

What Is Leverage?
Leverage lets you control a position larger than your account balance by borrowing the difference from your broker, expressed as a ratio such as 1:100 or 1:500. It scales potential gains and losses in equal proportion — a 1% move against a position leveraged 1:100 represents a 100% swing relative to the margin committed, which is why leverage is as much a risk parameter as it is a tool for capital efficiency.
The real maximum leverage you can get is set by two things together: the tier your account balance falls into, and the instrument's own margin requirement. Higher-margin instruments such as gold or crypto reduce that ceiling further than a standard forex pair at the same balance tier, which is the distinction this calculator is built to surface.
