Estimate the liquidation price of a leveraged long or short crypto futures position from your entry, leverage and maintenance margin.
Estimate for isolated margin; real liquidation also depends on fees and your exchange's tiers.
On an isolated-margin futures position the exchange closes you out when your losses eat the margin down to the maintenance level. That price is the liquidation price, and with leverage it can sit surprisingly close to your entry.
Choose long or short, enter the entry price, the leverage and the maintenance margin rate, and the calculator estimates the liquidation price and how far the market has to move to reach it.
It is an estimate. Exchanges use tiered maintenance rates that rise with position size, and fees and funding taken from the margin pull liquidation a little closer. Always keep your stop-loss well before it.
Long, entry 65,000, leverage 10x, maintenance margin 0.5%.
Exchanges apply tiered maintenance margin by position size, deduct fees and funding from margin, and in cross margin use your whole balance. This calculator assumes a single maintenance rate on an isolated position.
Use lower leverage, which posts more margin for the same position, or add margin to an isolated position. Reducing the position size also helps.
A stop placed well before the liquidation price normally closes the trade first. In very fast moves a stop can fill late, so leave a wide buffer, for example liquidation at least twice the stop distance away.
