Long Liquidation Price

Short Liquidation Price

Entry × (1 + 1/Leverage)

Margin & Total Loss

Margin = Capital ÷ Leverage. Total loss at liquidation equals the margin you posted.

⚠️ Important buffer note

Real liquidation happens slightly earlier because exchanges charge maintenance margin and fees. Treat these as best-case thresholds, add a buffer of roughly 0.5–2% depending on your exchange.

Honest answers

Why don't these match my exchange exactly?

Because exchanges apply a maintenance margin rate and funding/fees on top; this tool shows the pure price threshold before those extras. Use it to compare leverage levels, then check your exchange's exact number before confirming.

Is my capital the position size or my margin?

Here, capital means the full position size (notional) you want to trade; margin required is what you'd actually need to post at each leverage level.

Can I trust this for real money decisions?

Use it to understand how leverage changes risk, not as a guarantee. Always confirm the exact liquidation price on your exchange before opening a position.
