margin-inline-end

Baseline Widely available *

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2021.

* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.

The margin-inline-end CSS property defines the logical inline end margin of an element, which maps to a physical margin depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. In other words, it corresponds to the margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom or margin-left property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.

Try it

Syntax

css
/* <length> values */
margin-inline-end: 10px; /* An absolute length */
margin-inline-end: 1em; /* relative to the text size */
margin-inline-end: 5%; /* relative to the nearest block container's width */
margin-inline-end: anchor-size(height);
margin-inline-end: calc(anchor-size(--myAnchor self-inline, 25px) / 5);

/* Keyword values */
margin-inline-end: auto;

/* Global values */
margin-inline-end: inherit;
margin-inline-end: initial;
margin-inline-end: revert;
margin-inline-end: revert-layer;
margin-inline-end: unset;

It relates to margin-block-start, margin-block-end, and margin-inline-start, which define the other margins of the element.
