Quick Answer

On a standard silver lot of 5,000 troy ounces, one pip (0.001) is worth $5 — so a $0.10 move is 100 pips, or $500 per lot. Many brokers also offer 1,000 oz or 100 oz contracts, which scale the pip value down to $1 or $0.10; pick your broker's contract in the calculator above.

Margin Calculator Formula

Margin = (Contract Size × Lots × Price × USD Rate) ÷ Leverage

Example (XAG/USD): 1 lot at 61.130 = $305,650 position; at 10:1 leverage: $305,650 ÷ 10 = $30,565

About XAG/USD — Silver / US Dollar

Silver trades as both a precious metal and an industrial input (solar panels, electronics), so it reacts to the same real-rate and dollar drivers as gold plus the global growth cycle. In percentage terms it typically moves considerably more than gold, which is why silver positions are usually smaller for the same risk.
