Frequently asked questions

How does the Liquidation price calculator work?

It takes Entry price, Leverage (x), Position and Maintenance margin (%) and derives Liquidation price and Move to liquidation from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.

Which values does the calculator ask for?

4 values: Entry price ($), Leverage (x), Position and Maintenance margin (%). Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.

What does a typical calculation look like?

With Entry price = $60,000.00, Leverage (x) = 10, Position = Long and Maintenance margin (%) = 0.5, the calculator returns Liquidation price = $54,300.00 and Move to liquidation = 9.5%. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.

How much does the result change with different inputs?

It moves a lot. Using Entry price = $120,000.00, Leverage (x) = 20, Position = Short and Maintenance margin (%) = 0.6 instead, Liquidation price goes from $54,300.00 to $125,280.00 — which is why it is worth testing a few scenarios rather than trusting a single figure.

Which “Position” option should I choose?

You can pick between « Long » and « Short ». Each one changes what the calculator works out, so switch and compare — the default is « Long ».

What does it give for smaller values?

Scaled down to Entry price = $30,000.00, Leverage (x) = 5, Position = Long and Maintenance margin (%) = 0.5, Liquidation price comes out at $24,150.00. The relationship is worth checking at both ends before you rely on a single result.

When would I actually use this?

Comparing two investments that pay at different times, deciding whether a project clears its cost of capital, and sanity-checking a valuation someone else produced.

What is the most common mistake?

Trusting a valuation without asking what share of it comes from the terminal value. Past 70%, the answer is an assumption about the distant future dressed up as a calculation.

How accurate is it, and what are the limits?

Estimate only — not financial or tax advice. Exchange formulas vary.

What is the difference between the Liquidation price calculator and the Break-even price calculator?

This one returns Liquidation price and Move to liquidation; the Break-even price calculator returns Break-even sell price and Minimum gain needed. That is the whole difference — open the one whose figure you need.
