Educational tool. Not financial advice. Liquidation triggers depend on exchange-specific maintenance margin, mark price (not last price), and insurance fund mechanics — actual liquidation may occur before the calculated price.
Liquidation Price — DeFi & Crypto Leverage Calculator
Enter your collateral, debt, and liquidation LTV to see your health factor and liquidation price. The chart shows how health factor changes with price movement. Scenario table shows the impact of different price drops.
How to calculate a liquidation price
- Enter your entry price, position size and leverage multiplier.
- Specify the maintenance margin percentage required by your exchange for the asset and leverage level.
- The calculator outputs the liquidation price — the level at which your collateral no longer covers the maintenance requirement.
- Use the distance between entry and liquidation as your risk budget; if the distance feels uncomfortably small, reduce leverage.
Common use cases
- Setting a mental stop well before liquidation to protect capital rather than letting the exchange force the exit.
- Comparing two exchanges with different maintenance margin tiers to see where your liquidation sits on the same leverage.
- Planning cross vs isolated margin by seeing how a bad trade liquidates one position without dragging the whole account.
- Stress-testing a leveraged crypto basket against a historical draw-down to verify no single asset would have been wiped out.
Frequently asked questions
Is the liquidation price always exact?
It is an estimate. Exchanges may liquidate slightly earlier or later depending on funding rate accruals, insurance fund policies and slippage during a fast market. Leave a safety buffer beyond the calculated number.
What is the difference between cross and isolated margin?
Isolated caps risk per position — a bad trade liquidates only that position. Cross shares margin across all positions, improving capital efficiency but meaning one trade can drag down others.
How do funding fees affect liquidation?
Long-held perpetuals accumulate funding costs that reduce equity over time, pushing the liquidation price closer to entry. For multi-day holds, include expected funding in the liquidation calculation.

About liquidation in DeFi lending
In DeFi lending protocols like Aave and Compound, your collateral can be liquidated if its value drops below the required threshold (liquidation LTV). The health factor measures how safe your position is — below 1.0 means liquidation.
