Method

How this calculator works

01

Position notional, leverage, and margin inputs are normalized into a general cross-venue estimate.

02

Long and short directions use mirrored price movement logic.

03

Maintenance margin, trading fees, funding, and extra margin are shown separately.

Formula

The calculation

General estimate adjusts entry price by initial margin, maintenance margin, added margin, trading fees, and funding fees.
Example

A concrete scenario

A $10,000 long at $50,000 entry with 10× leverage and a 0.5% maintenance margin has a general liquidation estimate near $45,250 before added fees or margin.

Known limits

What this estimate cannot guarantee

  • This is not an exchange-specific liquidation engine.
  • Exchanges can use risk tiers, mark prices, insurance rules, fee buffers, and partial liquidation systems.
  • Funding and fee inputs are estimates and can change while a position remains open.
FAQ

Questions about this tool

Is this the liquidation price shown by my exchange?

Not necessarily. It is a general estimate and intentionally avoids an exchange name without a verified adapter.

What price should I enter?

Use the position entry price and compare the result with your venue’s mark-price-based liquidation display.

Does additional margin move liquidation farther away?

In the general model, additional margin increases the buffer, but the exact venue behavior can differ.
