What this tool does

Leverage cuts both ways: a small move against you can wipe out the whole margin through a forced liquidation. This calculator computes the liquidation price of a Binance USDⓈ-M perpetual in isolated margin (one-way mode) with the exact formula Binance publishes, and shows the distance to liquidation, the break-even price with fees, ROE at your target and the round-trip fees. It also sizes the position from your balance and stop, and checks whether ATR-based stops would be hit before liquidation.

How it is calculated

Liquidation price = (margin + maintenance amount − side × quantity × entry) ÷ (quantity × maintenance margin rate − side × quantity), with side +1 for long and −1 for short (Binance's isolated, one-way formula). Notional = margin × leverage = quantity × entry, so any one of the three gives the others. Maintenance margin is charged on the notional at the mark price, so the rate and maintenance amount come from the tier that contains the notional at the moment of liquidation (quantity × liquidation price). Example: long at 100,000, 10x, 1,000 USDT margin → quantity 0.1, tier 1 (0.4%, amount 0) → (1,000 − 10,000) ÷ (0.0004 − 0.1) = 90,361.45. The quick formula entry × (1 − 1/leverage + rate) gives 90,400 (short: entry × (1 + 1/leverage − rate)). Break-even: long = entry × (1 + entry fee) ÷ (1 − exit fee), short = entry × (1 − entry fee) ÷ (1 + exit fee); default fees are 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker. ROE = PnL ÷ margin. Risk-based quantity = balance × risk % (default 1%) ÷ |entry − stop|; leverage needed = notional ÷ the margin you allocate. ATR is Wilder's 14-bar ATR at the last closed bar, and stops are entry ∓ 1.5, 2 and 3 × ATR. The tier tables are Binance's values for the top 150 USDⓈ-M coins by volume as of 2026-09-23; other coins use Binance's most common altcoin table (tier 1 up to 5,000 USDT at 1.5%, max 50x). Mark price, funding and the chart candles reload every 15 seconds; the ATR changes whenever a candle closes.

Reading the screen, section by section

Coin picker and mark price

The top dropdown offers the top 100 Binance USDⓈ-M futures by volume, or 'Manual entry'. Changing the coin clears entry, target and stop, and an empty entry field is filled with the current mark price. The mark price is what the exchange uses to decide liquidation and can differ slightly from the last trade; it reloads every 15 seconds, while the Bithumb USDT/KRW rate used for the KRW conversion is fetched once when the page opens. To reset the entry to the current price, press 'Use mark price as entry'. With manual entry the chart, live tiles and ATR switch off and only the calculator runs, and the status badge reads 'Manual'. The tier table is loaded separately for each coin.

Position inputs

Enter the side (long or short), entry price, leverage (1–150x via slider, number box or quick buttons), size input, target, stop and fees. The size input can be margin, quantity or notional, whichever is handiest; the other two follow from notional = margin × leverage = quantity × entry. Switching the input type carries the values over so the position stays the same. Fees default to 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker; a limit entry or exit uses the maker rate, a market one the taker rate. Results update as you type. An empty entry is filled with the mark price, but once an entry is in place the 15-second refresh never overwrites it. Inputs are kept in this browser and the address bar, so a link reopens the same position.

Result

The liquidation price uses Binance's published isolated, one-way formula: (margin + maintenance amount − side × quantity × entry) ÷ (quantity × maintenance rate − side × quantity), with the rates of the tier that the notional at liquidation (quantity × liquidation price) falls in. Next to it, the quick formula entry × (1 ∓ 1/leverage ± rate) and its gap from the exact result. The nine tiles cover notional, margin and quantity, maintenance margin at the entry notional, break-even including fees, round-trip fees, loss if liquidated (all isolated margin plus the entry fee), PnL and ROE (PnL ÷ margin) at target and stop, and net PnL after fees. Warnings appear under the summary when leverage exceeds the tier maximum, the stop lies beyond the liquidation price, or the stop or target is on the wrong side. These tiles use your inputs only, so they do not move with the mark price.

Chart and the four live tiles

The selected coin's perpetual candles (15m, 1H, 4H or 1D, 300 bars) carry lines for entry, break-even (dotted), liquidation, target and stop. Only lines within ±30% of the last close are fitted into the vertical axis; farther ones are marked 'off chart' in the legend. Candles and mark price reload every 15 seconds, so the open candle on the right changes each time. The four tiles below value your position at the current mark price: unrealized PnL and ROE; margin ratio = maintenance margin at mark ÷ (margin + unrealized PnL), with liquidation at 100% and highlighting from 80%; distance from mark to the liquidation price; and whether you pay or receive at the next funding settlement, how much (quantity × mark × rate) and when. They assume the position you entered, not your actual account.

Liquidation price by leverage

This table keeps the notional fixed and changes only the leverage, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150x (adding your current value if it is not listed), showing margin needed, liquidation price and distance from entry at a glance. The row for your current leverage is highlighted, and rows above the entry tier's maximum leverage carry 'Over limit', meaning such an order would be rejected. Raising leverage only shrinks the margin and pulls the liquidation price closer; with the same quantity, the same price move produces the same PnL in USDT. If the distance column is narrower than the one-bar average range shown in the ATR section, that multiple can be liquidated by ordinary noise. This table also uses your inputs only.

Risk-based position size

Enter your account balance (1,000 USDT by default) and risk per trade (1% by default), set an entry and stop above, and it works out the quantity that loses exactly that share of the balance if the stop is hit: quantity = balance × risk % ÷ |entry − stop|. If you enter a margin to allocate, it shows leverage needed = notional ÷ margin and the whole-number leverage to order; left blank, it shows the margin needed at the leverage above. It also gives the risk:reward to the target, the real loss including fees, the liquidation price at this size and whether the stop or liquidation comes first, with warnings when the margin exceeds the balance or the leverage cap. 'Apply this size to the position' copies the quantity (and leverage needed) up. The balance is stored only in this browser and never added to the address.

ATR-based stops

ATR is the average range of one bar. This section computes a 14-bar Wilder ATR on the timeframe chosen for the chart, using the last closed bar and leaving out the one still forming. So although candles reload every 15 seconds, the ATR only changes when a bar closes. Stops sit at entry ∓ 1.5, 2 and 3 × ATR (below for longs, above for shorts), and each row shows the distance from entry, the quantity and notional from the balance and risk % on the left, and whether the stop comes before the liquidation price at that size ('Stop first' or 'Liq. first'). 'Use' copies that stop into the stop field above. With fewer than 14 closed bars, as right after a listing, it skips the calculation and suggests a shorter timeframe. Changing the timeframe recalculates the ATR on that timeframe.

Maintenance margin tiers

This is the tier table behind the liquidation price. The top 150 Binance USDⓈ-M coins by volume carry values as of 2026-09-23; other coins and manual entry get Binance's most common altcoin table (tier 1 up to 5,000 USDT at 1.5%, max 50x). You can edit each tier's upper bound, rate, maintenance amount and max leverage (the lower bound is the previous tier's upper bound), and the check column shows whether the amount equals the previous amount + this lower bound × the rate difference. After changing a rate press 'Recalculate amounts'; 'Reset to default' restores the original. The tier used in the current calculation is highlighted, and edited tables are saved per coin in this browser. The table is not fetched live, so for large positions compare it with the exchange's own table.

How to use it, and keeping it open

This is a calculator: results change as you type, and only when a coin is selected do mark price, funding and the chart reload every 15 seconds. Switching tabs pauses refreshing, which resumes as soon as you return. Build the position in the order below and leave the page open, and the four tiles under the chart show unrealized PnL, margin ratio and distance to liquidation for that position every 15 seconds. A margin ratio highlighted above 80% means the liquidation price is getting close. Funding and slippage are not included in the results (funding appears separately for the next settlement only). A funding-rate dashboard or live liquidation monitor in a nearby tab helps you keep an eye on costs and sudden market moves.

  • Pick a coin and use the mark price as entry
  • Set side, leverage and size, then check the liquidation price
  • Choose a stop in the ATR section and apply it
  • Size the position from balance and risk %, then apply
  • Compare multiples in the leverage table

Things to know

Frequently asked questions

Binance shows a slightly different estimated liquidation price.

Binance uses your actual fill price, any margin you add or remove, the opening loss on market entries and rounded quantities. Tiers may also have changed. Update the tier table below from the exchange's leverage and margin page and the same formula will match.

How far off is the quick formula?

Entry × (1 − 1/leverage + rate) ignores the (1 − rate) divisor and the maintenance amount. In tier 1, where the amount is 0, the quick result comes out higher by roughly entry × rate ÷ leverage: 0.04% of the entry at a 0.4% rate and 10x, 0.2% at 2x. In larger tiers with a maintenance amount the gap widens. This tool uses the exact formula.

What about cross margin?

In cross margin the whole wallet balance backs the position, so liquidation is farther away. With no other open positions you can approximate it by entering your full available balance as the margin. With several positions open, their PnL and maintenance margins interact and this tool cannot compute it exactly.

How much do I lose if I am liquidated?

With isolated margin the loss is capped at the margin in that position. At the liquidation price the remaining maintenance margin goes to the liquidation fee, so in practice you lose the whole margin plus the entry fee, and the rest of the wallet is untouched.

How does risk-based sizing work?

It works backwards from the stop so that hitting it loses only a set percentage of the balance. With 1,000 USDT, 1% risk and a 2,000 USDT stop distance the quantity is 10 ÷ 2,000 = 0.005. If the liquidation price at that size is closer than the stop it is marked Liq. first; compare with lower leverage or more margin.
