Liquidation Price Calculator
Estimate where a leveraged long or short position would get liquidated.
How liquidation price is estimated
For an isolated-margin position, liquidation happens roughly when losses eat through your margin down to the exchange's required maintenance margin. This calculator estimates that point using entry price, leverage and maintenance margin percentage. Real exchanges may also factor in funding fees and a small buffer, so the actual liquidation price can differ slightly from this estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a liquidation price?
It is the price at which a leveraged position is automatically closed by the exchange because losses have eaten through the trader's margin down to the required maintenance level.
Why does higher leverage mean a closer liquidation price?
Higher leverage means a smaller amount of margin is backing a larger position, so a smaller adverse price move is enough to wipe out that margin.
Is this calculator exact for every exchange?
No. Exchanges use their own formulas that can include funding fees, insurance funds and rounding rules, so treat this as an estimate rather than an exact figure.
What is maintenance margin?
It is the minimum amount of margin, as a percentage of position size, that an exchange requires you to keep in the position before liquidation triggers.
Is this liquidation price calculator free?
Yes, estimating your liquidation price for a leveraged long or short position is completely free, with no signup required.
