Then the total traded value is \u20b91,00,000. Suppose, you are required to pay 25% of the trade value as the upfront margin. Then, the total amount payable as upfront margin by you will be 25% of \u20b91,00,000, which is equal to \u20b925,000. And the remaining 75% or \u20b975,000 will be paid by the broker. Suppose the broker charges 14% per annum on the funded amount paid by the broker for the duration for which you hold the trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hold the stock for one month or 30 days, then you will have to pay the interest on the borrowed amount for 30 days. Which will be calculated as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interest = \u20b975,000 * (14%\/365) * 30 = \u20b9863<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Try our<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/calculators\/mtf-calculator\">MTF Interest Calculator<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-margin-trading-facility\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Margin_Trading_Facility\"><\/span>Benefits of Margin Trading Facility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"976\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Benefits-of-Margin-Trading-Facility.png\" alt=\"Benefits of Margin Trading Facility\" class=\"wp-image-19842\" style=\"width:521px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Benefits-of-Margin-Trading-Facility-1024x976.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Benefits-of-Margin-Trading-Facility-300x286.png 300w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Benefits-of-Margin-Trading-Facility-768x732.png 768w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Benefits-of-Margin-Trading-Facility-1536x1464.png 1536w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Benefits-of-Margin-Trading-Facility-2048x1952.png 2048w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Benefits-of-Margin-Trading-Facility-150x143.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The significant advantages of using Margin Trading Facility are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Increased Purchasing Power<\/strong>: Using MTF increases the purchasing power of the investor, which potentially increases profits if the stock moves in a favorable direction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long Holding Period:<\/strong> One can easily hold their position for a longer period of time, say one week or one month, allowing them to generate good returns on their investments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diversification:<\/strong> MTF helps investors use their capital more efficiently by leveraging it to buy stocks.
