10x leverage doesn't mean a 10% buffer

Maintenance margin, fees and funding eat into your safety margin before the price even moves. This calculator shows how much is actually left — calculated differently per exchange.

Based on the exchange's mark price, not the chart/last price.

Isolated margin only. Cross margin depends on your whole account balance and isn't modeled here.

Very large positions may be liquidated in steps (partial liquidation) on some exchanges.

Auto-deleveraging (ADL) can close a position in extreme cases regardless of the liquidation price.

Assumption: no automatic margin top-up active, funding rate stays constant over the holding period.

01

Two formula paths, not one

Binance and MEXC (isolated) don't factor the closing fee into the trigger. Bybit and OKX do. LiquidationBuffer knows the difference per exchange.

02

Funding over time

Your buffer shrinks — or grows — with every funding payment. Set the holding period and see the effect instantly.

03

Notional, not just margin

Your tier is based on margin × leverage, not margin alone. The calculator warns you when your desired leverage isn't even available.
