How this is calculated

Notional = entry ร— size and margin used = notional รท leverage. The approximate isolated-margin liquidation price (ignoring fees) is:

long โ‰ˆ entry ร— (1 โˆ’ 1/leverage + m)
short โ‰ˆ entry ร— (1 + 1/leverage โˆ’ m)

where m is the maintenance margin rate. Real exchanges use tiered maintenance margins, funding and fees, so your actual liquidation price will differ.

Frequently asked questions

How is the liquidation price estimated?
For isolated margin, ignoring fees: long โ‰ˆ entry ร— (1 โˆ’ 1/leverage) and short โ‰ˆ entry ร— (1 + 1/leverage). A maintenance margin rate refines the estimate.
Is this liquidation price exact?
No. It is an approximation. Real liquidation depends on each exchange's maintenance-margin tiers, funding and fees, so always check your exchange.
