About liquidation price
Liquidation is not a price the exchange picks arbitrarily — it is the point where your losses have eaten the margin down to the maintenance requirement, and it follows directly from entry price, leverage and the venue's maintenance margin rate. At 10× the cushion is roughly 10%, at 50× it is roughly 2%, which is why high leverage is less a return multiplier than a countdown. Two things this figure does not include: funding payments and fees both drain margin while a position is open, so the real liquidation price creeps toward you the longer you hold.
Common questions
What is a liquidation price?
The market price at which a leveraged position collateral no longer covers its debt under the platform rules, so the position can be closed by someone else. It moves with size, leverage, and the maintenance margin the venue uses.
How do I calculate liquidation price?
From entry, leverage, side and maintenance margin — which is what this page does with your numbers. Different venues use different formulas; treat the result as a model of the inputs you typed, not as a promise from a specific exchange.
Does a liquidation price guarantee I survive until then?
No. Funding, fees, and sudden gaps can liquidate earlier than a static formula shows. The number is a planning aid for the parameters you entered, not a cushion the market owes you.
