This is a model price · your exchange will also apply funding, insurance fund, and auto-deleveraging, so the real liquidation can differ slightly.
How the math works
- Long: liq_price = entry × (1 − 1 / leverage) / (1 − maintenance_margin_rate)
- Short: liq_price = entry × (1 + 1 / leverage) / (1 + maintenance_margin_rate)
- Cross margin: the whole wallet backs the position, so wallet_balance / position_size takes the place of 1 / leverage.
Maintenance margin rate (MMR) varies by exchange, symbol and notional tier. The leverage tiers page lists the recorded maintenance margin ladder of every perpetual per exchange; enter the rate of the tier your position falls in.

Questions
How is the liquidation price calculated for a long?
For isolated margin, liquidation price = entry x (1 - 1/leverage) / (1 - maintenance margin rate). Shorts use entry x (1 + 1/leverage) / (1 + maintenance margin rate).
Does the calculator support cross margin?
Yes. In cross mode the whole wallet balance backs the position, so wallet balance / position size takes the place of 1 / leverage in the formula, which pushes the liquidation price further away from entry.
What maintenance margin rate should I enter?
The rate of the tier your position falls in on your exchange. MMR varies by exchange, symbol and notional tier; the leverage tiers page lists the ladders per exchange, recorded daily.
