Method and limitations
Linear isolated position without fees, extra margin, tier deductions or other positions. Long = entry × (1 − 1/leverage)/(1 − MMR); short = entry × (1 + 1/leverage)/(1 + MMR). An exchange’s mark price and risk tiers can change the actual trigger.

How the calculation works
Linear isolated position without fees, extra margin, tier deductions or other positions. Long = entry × (1 − 1/leverage)/(1 − MMR); short = entry × (1 + 1/leverage)/(1 + MMR). An exchange’s mark price and risk tiers can change the actual trigger.
How to read the result
The long and short outputs describe different positions, not two boundaries of one trade. The price distance for a long shows the modelled move from entry to liquidation. It does not measure the probability of that move.

Frequently asked questions
What does this calculator show?
Estimate long and short liquidation levels for a simplified isolated linear position. Use it to understand the effect of leverage and maintenance margin.
Why does my exchange show a different liquidation price?
An exchange can use mark prices, risk tiers, deductions, fees, extra margin and other positions. Those details are outside this isolated simplified formula.
Does a lower leverage make a position safe?
The model can place liquidation farther from entry, but it does not assess market risk, execution or the suitability of a trade.
Do I need an account or payment to calculate?
No. All fields and results are free. You can change inputs and compare scenarios without an account. An account is only needed for synchronising a plan in the dashboard.
