The Math

How Liquidation Price Is Estimated

For an isolated-margin position (ignoring fees and funding), the liquidation price is your entry adjusted by the inverse of your leverage, softened by the maintenance margin the exchange keeps in reserve. More leverage means a smaller buffer before liquidation.

Distances assume a 0.5% maintenance margin rate. Your exchange's tiered margin schedule and fees will shift the exact level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does more leverage liquidate sooner?

Higher leverage means you post less margin per dollar of exposure, so a smaller adverse price move wipes out that margin. At 100x a 0.5% move can liquidate you; at 5x it takes roughly 19.5%.

What is the maintenance margin rate?

It is the minimum equity the exchange requires to keep a position open, usually 0.5% and rising on larger positions. The closer your equity gets to it, the closer you are to liquidation.

Is this the exact liquidation price?

It is a close approximation for isolated margin. Trading fees, funding payments, and tiered maintenance margins shift the real level, so treat the result as a planning estimate rather than a guarantee.

Does cross margin change the result?

Yes. This tool assumes isolated margin, where only the position's own margin backs it. Cross margin shares your whole wallet balance, which usually pushes liquidation further away.
