How Liquidation Price Works
Exchanges require a minimum maintenance margin for leveraged positions. The exchange may liquidate a position when its margin falls below that requirement.
Long positions: Liquidation can occur when price falls to the exchange threshold.
Short positions: Liquidation can occur when price rises to the exchange threshold.
Estimate only. This simplified calculation assumes a 0.5% maintenance-margin rate. It excludes exchange-specific margin tiers, fees, funding, insurance rules and cross-margin effects. Confirm the liquidation price shown by your exchange before acting; this is not a probability or risk forecast.

Understanding Maker Liquidation
Liquidation rules for Maker differ by exchange, product, account, margin mode, and maintenance tier. This page uses a simplified scenario and cannot reproduce every exchange calculation.
Inputs and exchange rules that can affect a result:
- Leverage input: changes the estimated distance to the modeled threshold.
- Position size: may affect the maintenance tier applied by an exchange.
- Maintenance margin: varies by exchange, product, account, and margin mode.
- Market conditions: fees, funding, slippage, and fast execution can change the outcome.
