DETAILS

About this Lot Size Reference

This section explains what the calculator does, what goes into the result, and how to interpret the output so you can apply it confidently.

What this tool does

Purpose

This calculator turns a few key inputs into a clear output you can act on — a number that traders and investors commonly use for planning and decision-making.

Use it to compare scenarios quickly and to understand the trade-offs behind the final result.

When it is helpful

  • To sanity-check assumptions before committing money.
  • To compare two or more scenarios side-by-side (conservative vs aggressive).
  • To convert a “feel” into a number you can plan around.
  • To learn what the metric means and how it is used in practice.

How to read the result

Interpretation

Treat the output as a planning number. Small changes in inputs (time, rate, price, quantity, risk, or cashflows) can change the outcome meaningfully — so keep assumptions realistic.

If the tool returns multiple outputs, focus on the ones that drive decisions (e.g., net result, breakeven, or risk-adjusted value), not just the biggest number.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using overly optimistic return assumptions.
  • Ignoring fees/taxes where they matter.
  • Optimizing precision instead of making a better decision.
  • Treating the result as a prediction instead of a plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is contract value?+

Contract value = Lot Size × Current Market Price. This is the total exposure you take for one lot. For NRML, you need only the margin percentage (7–18%) upfront, not the full contract value.

How often does NSE change lot sizes?+

NSE reviews and revises lot sizes quarterly — typically in March, June, September, and December. The new lot size takes effect from the expiry after the revision, aiming to keep contract values around ₹5–10 lakh.

Why are index lot sizes different from stock lot sizes?+

Index lot sizes (Nifty 75, BankNifty 30) are fixed by NSE independently of price, since indices cannot be delivered. Stock lot sizes are set to keep contract values in a standardized range for retail accessibility.

Do index options and index futures have the same lot size?+

Yes — for the same index, futures and options have identical lot sizes. Nifty futures and Nifty options both have 75 shares per lot.
