See e.g. the primer of the CME that describes the process and contains some examples:
https://www.cmegroup.com/education/a-primer-on-margining-styles-for-options.html
The CME margin calculator (CME CORE) is detailed here:
CME CORE: Clearing Online Risk Engine
Depending on your broker margins can be lower, but in general it isn't recommended to
use the additional leverage (esp for beginners) since it spurs on overtrading.
