💡 The higher your leverage, the closer your liquidation sits to your entry. At 100× a move of ~1% against you can wipe the position; at 5× you have ~20% of room. This is why blown accounts almost always come from oversized leverage — not bad entries. Size for survival first.

Liquidation, explained

How is the liquidation price calculated?

Liquidation happens when your losses eat through your margin. For an isolated-margin position (ignoring fees and funding), this calculator uses the standard approximation: Long liquidation = Entry × (1 − 1/leverage + maintenance rate), and Short liquidation = Entry × (1 + 1/leverage − maintenance rate). Your exchange's exact number may differ slightly because of fees, funding, and tiered maintenance margins.

What is maintenance margin rate?

It's the minimum equity your exchange requires you to keep before it force-closes (liquidates) your position — typically around 0.4%–0.5% for major pairs, rising for smaller coins and higher leverage tiers. A higher maintenance rate pushes your liquidation price slightly closer to your entry.

Why does higher leverage liquidate faster?

Leverage shrinks the price move needed to lose your margin. At 10× leverage, roughly a 10% adverse move wipes your position; at 50×, only ~2%; at 100×, ~1%. More leverage means less room for the trade to breathe — and normal volatility can stop you out before your idea ever plays out.

How do I avoid getting liquidated?

Use lower leverage than you think you need, size your position from your stop loss (not your ambition), and never let liquidation be your stop — set a real stop-loss order well above your liquidation price. The discipline framework behind this is covered in our position sizing and stop-loss guides.

Educational tool only. Estimates use a simplified isolated-margin formula and exclude fees, funding, and tiered maintenance margins — your exchange's actual liquidation price may differ. Not financial advice. Trading with leverage carries a high risk of losing your capital quickly.
