What is the minimum deposit required?

I am a risk score 2 and no matter how I answer the questions, I can't seem to get above this?

To upgrade to a margin account, sign in to your account at Interactive Brokers, select Trading Access, then Trading Configuration and lastly Reg-T Margin under Account Type. Retirement accounts are not permitted to use margin.
