Crypto Liquidation Calculator
A rough liquidation price from leverage and maintenance margin.
A simplified isolated-margin estimate. Exchanges add fees and their own maintenance schedule, so treat this as a range.
Liquidation
entry × (1 − (1/leverage − maintenance ÷ 100))
The move used here is 9.50% of the entry. Exchanges add fees and their own maintenance schedule, so this is a simplified isolated-margin estimate, not their number.
Worked example
A long entered at $100 with 10× leverage and 0.5% maintenance liquidates near $90.50. A short uses the same distance on the other side of the entry.
FAQ
- How is the price estimated?
- The move is 1 ÷ leverage, minus the maintenance percent. A long liquidates at entry times one minus that move.
- Will an exchange match this number?
- Not exactly. Exchanges add fees and their own maintenance schedule. Treat this as a simplified isolated-margin estimate.
- What if maintenance is too high for the leverage?
- The page says the leverage doesn't hold, because the maintenance already uses up the margin.
