FAQ

Common questions about this tool, from basics to usage.

Is the liquidation price exact?Answer

No, it is an estimate. Exchanges use different maintenance tiers, fees, and formulas.

What inputs are required?Answer

Provide entry price, leverage, maintenance margin, and position side (long or short).

How can I reduce liquidation risk?Answer

Lower leverage, add more margin, or reduce position size to move the liquidation price farther away.

How it works

Liquidation price is estimated from entry, leverage, and maintenance margin. It is only a rough guide because each exchange applies its own formulas and tiers.

Example

Entry 42,000 with 10x leverage and 0.5% maintenance results in an estimated liquidation near 37,800 for a long.
