Liquidation Price Calculator for Crypto Futures
A liquidation price calculator estimates the price at which an exchange force-closes a leveraged position. Enter your entry price, leverage and the maintenance margin rate for an isolated-margin estimate.
- Liquidation price
- 90.5
- Distance from entry
- 9.50%
How it is calculated
- Long: liquidation price ≈ entry × (1 − 1 ÷ leverage + maintenance margin)
- Short: liquidation price ≈ entry × (1 + 1 ÷ leverage − maintenance margin)
- Fees, funding and tiered maintenance margin move the real price slightly closer to entry.
Frequently asked questions
- How far can price move before liquidation?
- Roughly 1 ÷ leverage minus the maintenance margin rate. At 10x with 0.5% maintenance margin, about 9.5%.
- Does this work for cross margin?
- No. With cross margin your whole account balance backs the position, so the liquidation price depends on your other positions and free balance.
