You will be able to see the Order Cost on the Order Confirmation Window and Order Zone.
The ‘Order Cost’ is the total margin needed to open a particular position. It is calculated using the Initial Margin plus a 2-way taker fees. 2-way taker fees refer to the fee to open and fee to close. The actual fee charged/received depends on (order type) how the order will be executed (maker or taker order).
Order Cost = Initial margin + 2-way taker fee (fee to open + fee to close)
Fee to open = (Quantity of contracts/Order Price*) x taker fee
Fee to close = (Quantity of contracts/Bankruptcy Price derived from Order Price*) x taker fee
Bankruptcy Price for Long position = (Average Entry Price x Leverage) / (Leverage+1)
Example:
A trader places a buy limit order of 10,000 BTCUSD contracts at 6,400 USD, using 25x leverage.
Initial Margin = (10,000/6,400) x 4%
= 0.0625 BTC
Fee to open = (10,000/6,400) x 0.075%
= 0.00117188 BTC
The Bankruptcy Price for this position
= 6,400 x 25/(25+1)
= 160,000/26
≈ 6,154 USD
Fee to close = (10,000/6,154 USD) x 0.075%
= 0.00121872 BTC

So, the Order Cost of this position:
= 0.0625 BTC (Initial margin) + 0.00117188 BTC (fee to open) + 0.00121872 BTC (fee to close)
= 0.06489060 BTC
