I'm sure Ken can answer this much more succinctly than I can. First, there are several equivalent ways to construct butterflys. after deciding which combo you have, I would say split up the legs into the respective spreads, and compute the margins that way. keeping in mind if you have a short straddle, in general, margin is calculated using the prems collected + 20% (or 15% for indices) of the underlying. other than generalities, I still have this mental block on calculating the specifics of margin.
