Liquidation Price Calculator for Binance & Bybit Futures
Calculate Binance or Bybit liquidation price for long and short futures using entry price, leverage, and margin.
How to Calculate Liquidation Price for Binance and Bybit
This liquidation price calculator is built for Binance and Bybit futures traders who want a fast estimate before opening a position. Enter your entry price, leverage, margin, and long or short direction to see how close your liquidation level is and whether the trade has enough room for normal volatility.
The result helps you compare leverage levels, test different margin amounts, and check whether your stop loss sits safely before liquidation. If you trade high leverage, even a small price move can matter, so a quick liquidation check is often the difference between a controlled setup and an unnecessary forced exit.
For a long position with isolated margin, the liquidation
price formula is:
Liquidation Price = Entry Price × (1 − 1/Leverage + MMR)
.
For a short position:
Liquidation Price = Entry Price × (1 + 1/Leverage − MMR)
.
Position size is: Position Size = Margin × Leverage.
Maintenance margin: Maint. Margin = Position Size × MMR.
Distance to liquidation: Distance % = |Liquidation Price − Entry Price| / Entry Price × 100%.
For example, at 10x leverage with Binance BTC (0.4% MMR), entering a long
at $65,000 gives a liquidation price of approximately
$65,000 × (1 − 0.1 + 0.004) = $58,760.
Always check your liquidation distance before opening a trade. If you feel too exposed, consider reducing your leverage or lowering your position size. Use our position size calculator to determine the optimal trade size based on your account risk percentage, or verify your expected returns with the Profit/Loss Calculator before committing capital. For perpetual futures, monitor ongoing funding rate costs that can erode your margin over time. Before sending funds to a new address — especially after copying a contract or destination wallet from a guide or social media — always check wallet risk signals to rule out spoofed or malicious addresses.

Liquidation Calculator — FAQ
What is liquidation price in crypto trading?
Liquidation price is the specific price level at which an exchange automatically closes a trader's leveraged position because the margin balance falls below the required maintenance margin.
How does leverage affect my liquidation price?
Higher leverage brings the liquidation price much closer to your entry price. At 10x leverage, a 10% adverse price move will liquidate your position. At 20x leverage, only a 5% move is needed. At 50x leverage, just a 2% move triggers liquidation. This is why professional traders rarely use leverage above 10x for anything other than very short-term scalping trades.
What is the difference between isolated and cross margin?
With isolated margin, your maximum loss is limited to the specific amount you allocated to that position. If the position is liquidated, only that margin is lost and the rest of your account is safe. With cross margin, the exchange uses your entire available account balance as collateral to prevent liquidation — meaning a single losing trade can drain your whole account. Isolated margin is generally safer for beginners and for managing specific trade risk.
Can I change my liquidation price after opening a trade?
Yes, you can move your liquidation price further away by adding more margin to your position or by reducing your leverage (if the platform allows).
Does this calculator support Binance and Bybit?
Yes, this calculator is designed to match the liquidation logic used by major exchanges like Binance and Bybit for USDT-margined futures contracts.
Why is my liquidation price different from my stop loss?
A stop loss is a user-defined order to exit a trade at a certain price, whereas liquidation is a forced exit by the exchange when your collateral is insufficient.
