Formula and methodology
Formula: Total ounces = contracts × ounces per contract; notional quote value = total ounces × gold price; account notional = quote notional × conversion rate; tick value = total ounces × tick size × conversion rate; entered margin estimate = contracts × margin per contract.
Futures contract size determines how a quoted price maps to notional exposure. This calculator keeps contract size, tick size, currency conversion, and an entered margin estimate separate because product specifications and margin requirements can change.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Gold price per troy ounce — quote currency / troy oz; minimum 1.0E-8; maximum 1000000000
- Number of contracts — contracts; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Troy ounces per contract — troy oz / contract; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Price tick size — quote / troy oz; minimum 1.0E-8; maximum 1000000
- Quote currency to account currency — account / quote; minimum 1.0E-10; maximum 1000000000
- Entered initial margin estimate — account currency / contract; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Gold price per troy ounce | 2300 |
| Number of contracts | 2 |
| Troy ounces per contract | 100 |
| Price tick size | 0.1 |
| Quote currency to account currency | 1 |
| Entered initial margin estimate | 20000 |
Two 100-troy-ounce contracts represent 200 ounces and 460,000 quote and account-currency units of notional value; one tick is worth 20 and the entered total margin estimate is 40,000.
Assumptions and limits
- Price is quoted in currency units per troy ounce.
- Contract size is the exact product convention being studied.
- Tick size is the minimum price increment for the chosen contract.
- The quote-to-account rate remains constant.
- Initial margin is entered as a scenario value rather than fetched live.
- Notional value is exposure, not the cash required to buy physical gold.
- Variation margin, maintenance margin, fees, taxes, and settlement are excluded.
- Contract month, expiry, delivery, and exchange rules are not inferred.
- A smaller or different gold product may use different size and tick values.
