1 /MES futures contract has a notional value of 5 * index price. Currently that is $30k. To buy this contract, I am required to set aside $2500 as a good faith deposit for the contract.

This gives me a notional exposure of $30k in the S&P 500 with a deposit of $2500. The $2500 is only the bare minimum, and it is usually advised to keep 2-5x of cash to handle downswings (see [below](#futures-vs-equities-margin)). So I set aside $10k as a safe amount of cash for this contract. That means I get a notional exposure of $30k at the cost of $10k. That is 3x leverage.

That $10k needs to come from somewhere. I could sell $10k of equities. That would give an overall leverage of (100-10+30)/100 = 1.2.
