About the Liquidation Price Calculator

Liquidation depends on the exchange, margin mode, fees, funding and maintenance tiers. Always use your exchange liquidation estimate as the final reference.

What Is a Liquidation Price?

A liquidation price is the approximate market price at which an exchange may close a leveraged position because the remaining margin is no longer sufficient. A long position is generally at risk when price falls, while a short position is generally at risk when price rises.

The estimate on this page uses entry price, leverage, position direction and maintenance margin. Actual exchange calculations can include mark price, taker fees, funding, tiered maintenance margins and other account details.

Leverage and Liquidation Risk

Higher leverage means a smaller adverse price move can put a position at risk. Leverage can increase both gains and losses, and liquidation may occur before a trader expects because fees and maintenance requirements reduce available margin.

Cross margin and isolated margin behave differently. This calculator is intended as a simple isolated position estimate, not a replacement for the liquidation figure shown by your exchange.

How to Reduce Liquidation Risk

Use lower leverage, keep additional margin available, set a stop loss before entering a trade and understand the exchange maintenance tiers. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.

  • Check the exchange mark price rather than only the last traded price.
  • Include opening, closing and funding fees in your trade plan.
  • Understand whether your account uses isolated or cross margin.
  • Review the exchange liquidation estimate before confirming an order.

Liquidation Price Calculator FAQ

Is this exact for every exchange?

No. Exchanges use different maintenance margin tiers, fees and mark-price rules.

Does higher leverage move liquidation closer?

Yes. Higher leverage generally leaves less room for an adverse price move before margin requirements are reached.

What is the difference between long and short liquidation?

A long is generally liquidated as price falls, while a short is generally liquidated as price rises.

Why is my exchange price different?

Exchanges may use mark price, maintenance tiers, fees, funding and different margin formulas.

Can a stop loss prevent liquidation?

A stop loss may close a position earlier, but execution is not guaranteed during fast markets or low liquidity.
