Crypto Leverage Liquidation Calculator

About this calculator

The liquidation price on a leveraged crypto position is the price at which your posted margin is no longer enough to cover the position’s losses, forcing the exchange to automatically close it out — for a long position this sits below your entry price, and for a short it sits above it, with the gap shrinking the higher your leverage.

Leverage magnifies both gains and this liquidation risk in direct proportion: a 10x long gets liquidated on roughly a 10 percent adverse move (before fees and funding), while a 50x long can be wiped out by a swing of just 2 percent, which is well within normal crypto volatility on any given day. Exchanges like Binance and Bybit calculate this price using the position’s entry price, leverage, and maintenance margin rate, and traders check it before opening a position specifically to know how much room the market has to move against them, and to set stop-losses comfortably above the liquidation price rather than relying on the exchange’s forced close, which typically executes at a worse price than a self-managed exit.

Enter your entry price, leverage, position direction and margin details, and this calculator shows your exact liquidation price and how far away the current price sits from it.
