Liquidation price calculator

Approximate liquidation price for an isolated-margin perpetual futures position.

Inputs

Simplified formula. Real liquidation triggers slightly earlier because of maintenance margin requirements (which vary per venue and per tier).

Why distance to liquidation matters more than leverage

"10× leverage" by itself tells you nothing about risk. What matters is the distance to liquidation relative to typical price volatility. A 10× long has a ~10% liquidation distance — which is less than a single bad day on most alts. A 3× long has ~33% — survivable through almost any spike.

Pair this with the position size calculator to size for the distance, not for the leverage label.
