Liquidation Price Calculator
Know the price level where a leveraged futures position gets force-closed before you open it, not after. Enter your entry price, leverage and direction to get an estimated liquidation price for an isolated-margin position.
Calculate Your Liquidation Price
How This Calculator Works
At higher leverage, your margin covers a smaller price move before it's wiped out. The calculator estimates the price where your remaining margin equals the exchange's maintenance margin requirement — the point at which the position gets force-closed. Longs liquidate below entry; shorts liquidate above entry, and both move closer to entry as leverage increases.
Why Knowing Your Liquidation Price Matters
Many traders size their leverage around expected reward without checking how close liquidation sits to normal price volatility. A position that liquidates within a routine daily swing can get closed out on noise, even if your directional view turns out right. Checking this distance before entering helps you size leverage to the asset's volatility, not just your profit target.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my exchange show a different number? Exchanges use tiered maintenance margin rates that increase with position size, and may include unrealized fees or funding — this calculator uses a single flat rate as an estimate.
Does this work for crypto and stocks? This is built for leveraged crypto futures/perpetuals; traditional stock margin accounts use different maintenance rules.
How much margin does this position need? Use the Leverage & Margin Calculator to see the required margin and how much of your account it uses.
