I want to increase the (right) margin in the documentclass article about 0.5cm. How could I achieve this? I can use the package geometry but for that I must know the standard margin of this class.

    Note that if you use the pass option for geometry, it will preserve the existing margins of the underlying class, while making the tools of the package available to you. But you will see in my answer that you don't even need geometry to globally change the right margin
