How to use Liquidation price calculator
Describe the position
Choose long or short, then enter the entry price and your leverage, such as 10×.
Check the maintenance margin
The default 0.5% suits small positions on major pairs. Use your exchange’s rate for the coin and position size if it differs.
Read the result
See the liquidation price and how far away it is, then add your margin and an exit price to see the profit and ROE.
Why use Utils365
Long or short
A long is liquidated when the price falls; a short when it rises. Both are worked out with the standard isolated-margin formula.
Every leverage at a glance
A table shows the liquidation price from 2× to 125×, so you can see how fast the room to move shrinks.
Profit and ROE
Add your margin and an exit price to see the position size, the profit or loss, and the return on your margin.
Private and free
Everything is worked out in your browser. No account, no exchange login, nothing sent anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
How is the liquidation price calculated?
For an isolated-margin USDT-margined position, a long is liquidated at entry × (1 − 1 ÷ leverage + maintenance margin rate), and a short at entry × (1 + 1 ÷ leverage − maintenance margin rate). At 10× with 0.5% maintenance, a long from 100 is liquidated at 90.5.
What is the maintenance margin?
The smallest margin an exchange lets a position keep. When losses eat your margin down to it, the position is closed. Rates rise with position size and differ by coin; check your exchange’s table.
Why is my exchange’s price a little different?
Exchanges include trading fees, funding and their own tiers, and some use cross margin, which draws on your whole balance. Treat this as a close estimate and check the exchange before you trade.
What is ROE?
Return on equity: the profit as a percentage of the margin you put up. At 10× leverage, a 1% price move is about a 10% ROE, up or down.
How much leverage is safe?
Less is safer. At 10× a 9.5% move against you liquidates the position; at 50× it takes under 2%. Crypto often moves that much in a day.
Is this financial advice?
No. It’s a calculator. Leveraged trading can lose your whole margin quickly; only trade what you can afford to lose.
