Annual Interest = Loan * Rate. Margin Call Price = Loan Amount / [Shares * (1 - Maintenance Margin %)]. Drop Buffer % = (Current Price - Call Price) / Current Price.

Important Legal & Educational Disclaimer

Margin trading amplifies both gains and losses. If equity drops below the maintenance margin requirement, the broker can liquidate assets without notice.
