Is the margin requirement calculated on the "Contracted Price" throughout the tenure or the "Closing Price" as on that day?

Contract value on day zero. after that the contract value changes as futures price keeps changing . From a practical real life perspective it is calculated on areal time basis every instant on the changing price of the future contract and if there is a shortfall, margin calls are made immediately.but for exam perspective u can say that margin is computed at day end on closing price of the specific maturity future contract
