Liquidation Price Calculator
Educational estimate for isolated one-way USDT-margined linear perpetuals. Choose a formula preset (generic flat MMR, Binance simplified isolated, or Bybit UTA isolated), enter your assumptions, and review the estimated liquidation price. Presets follow published formula conventions — they are not live exchange quotes.
Estimate for USDT-margined isolated linear perpetual. Not exchange-exact.

Results
From estimate to a live bot scenario
Carry the same logic into Veles: set comparable parameters, preview the order grid, then backtest before you launch.
- Match direction, leverage, grid, Martingale, and TP/SL
- Inspect orders, capital allocation, and average entry
- Stress-test fees, drawdown, and MAE in a backtest
Assumptions & conventions
- Scope: USDT-margined, isolated margin, one-way linear perpetual contract.
- Generic: flat MMR from entry and leverage only; long liq = entry × (1 − 1/leverage) / (1 − MMR).
- Binance preset: simplified isolated wallet model; tier iteration, fees, hedge/cross terms omitted — not exchange-exact.
- Bybit preset: UTA isolated formulas from official docs; tier selection and live mark price remain external.
- All presets require an explicit MMR you supply — not pulled from exchange APIs.
Frequently asked questions
How is crypto liquidation price calculated?
Liquidation price is the mark/index level where position equity falls below the maintenance margin requirement. On a simple isolated linear long, a flat-MMR estimate looks like entry × (1 − 1/leverage) / (1 − MMR); shorts use the mirrored form with plus signs.
Exchange presets add wallet, deduction, or fee terms from published Binance/Bybit docs. Real engines also use live mark price and tier tables this page does not stream.
What is the difference between isolated and cross margin liquidation?
Isolated margin confines risk to the collateral assigned to one position; liquidation is estimated from that pocket. Cross margin shares wallet balance across positions, so one trade’s liquidation depends on the whole account.
This calculator targets isolated one-way USDT-margined linear perpetuals only — not cross, hedge, or portfolio margin.
What is maintenance margin rate (MMR)?
MMR is the maintenance margin rate — the minimum margin fraction required to keep a leveraged position open. Higher MMR (or higher tiers) generally moves liquidation closer for the same leverage.
Find MMR in your exchange contract specs or risk ladder for the symbol and notional bracket, then enter it manually here.
Why is this only a liquidation estimate?
Even Binance/Bybit-shaped presets omit full tier iteration, live mark price, funding accrual, insurance-fund behavior, and every wallet buffer. Production liquidation can differ.
Use the output to compare scenarios and stress leverage — then confirm the venue’s risk UI before sizing up.
When should I use the Binance vs Bybit preset?
Pick the preset that matches the documentation you are comparing against. The Binance simplified isolated path uses wallet balance and maintenance amount terms; the Bybit UTA isolated path follows their published formula with additional margin, deduction, and taker fee components.
Neither preset connects to exchange APIs or guarantees exchange-exact output.
Does higher leverage always mean closer liquidation?
Usually yes for the same entry, side, and MMR: less initial margin means a smaller adverse move can breach maintenance requirements.
Adding isolated margin, lowering size, or using a lower MMR tier can push liquidation farther — which is why the advanced fields exist on exchange-style presets.
