Where do you get liquidated?

How this calculator works

Liquidation happens when your losses eat through the margin backing the position. On an isolated-margin position the exchange closes you out once the price has moved against you by roughly your margin ratio, minus the maintenance margin the exchange keeps as a buffer.

The formula used here:

long  →  entry × (1 − (1/leverage − mm))
short →  entry × (1 + (1/leverage − mm))

with mm, the maintenance-margin rate, taken as 0.5% — a common tier-one value on major exchanges. At 20× leverage that puts liquidation about 4.5% away from entry; at 100× it is about 0.5%.

What it does not include

• Trading fees and funding payments, which pull the real liquidation price slightly closer to entry.
• Cross-margin mode, where the rest of your wallet balance keeps the position alive longer.
• Tiered maintenance margin — large positions sit in higher tiers with a bigger buffer requirement.
• Insurance-fund and auto-deleveraging mechanics that differ between exchanges.

Treat the number as an estimate for sizing a position, not as the exact figure your exchange will act on. Always check the liquidation price your own exchange shows for the open position.

Where the data comes from

The live price and the 24-hour liquidation totals on this page are read from the public market and liquidation streams of Binance and OKX, refreshed continuously. Totals are a lower bound: Binance publishes only the largest liquidation per symbol per second, so the real figure is higher than what is shown.
