Binance Futures Liquidation Price Calculator
Enter your entry price, leverage and direction to find the approximate isolated-margin liquidation price and how far it is from entry. Same concept on Bybit, OKX & Bitget.
How Liquidation Price Works
The liquidation price is where your margin balance falls to the maintenance margin and the exchange auto-closes your position. For a long: Entry × (1 − 1/leverage + maintenance rate). For a short: Entry × (1 + 1/leverage − maintenance rate). Higher leverage moves liquidation dangerously close to entry. Learn more in the margin types guide.
Worked example: BTC at $60,000
Isolated margin, 0.4% maintenance margin rate. Watch liquidation close in on entry as leverage rises: at 100x, a move of under 1% closes the position.

| 5x | $48,240 | -19.60% | $71,760 | +19.60% |
| 10x | $54,240 | -9.60% | $65,760 | +9.60% |
| 20x | $57,240 | -4.60% | $62,760 | +4.60% |
| 50x | $59,040 | -1.60% | $60,960 | +1.60% |
| 100x | $59,640 | -0.60% | $60,360 | +0.60% |
Common liquidation mistakes
- Running cross margin by accident, so the whole wallet backs one trade.
- Placing the stop beyond the liquidation price, where it can never fire.
- Forgetting the maintenance rate rises with position size in higher tiers.

Frequently Asked Questions
For an isolated-margin long: Liq ≈ Entry × (1 − 1/leverage + maintenance margin rate). For a short: Entry × (1 + 1/leverage − maintenance margin rate). Higher leverage moves liquidation closer to your entry.
It is the minimum margin required to keep a position open, varying by coin and position tier (typically 0.4%–0.5% for major pairs). When your margin balance falls to it, liquidation begins.
Use lower leverage, add margin to the position, or use isolated margin to cap risk. A stop loss placed before the liquidation price protects you from full liquidation.
It is a close approximation. Binance’s actual figure also factors in fees, any added margin, and tiered maintenance margin levels. Use it for planning, not as a final number.
