Bitcoin Leverage & Liquidation Calculator
Calculate liquidation prices, manage margin risk, and protect your leveraged positions with real-time Bitcoin price data.
Your liquidation price is the level where margin no longer covers losses and the exchange closes the position. This calculator returns that exact price for long or short trades from your entry, leverage and margin, plus the distance in percent and the maintenance-margin buffer you have left.
Choose whether this position uses only its own margin or can draw on extra account collateral.

Volatility Buffer Advisor
Know how much market noise your position can survive
Low Volatility (2-3%)
In quiet markets, 10x leverage is relatively safe. Your liquidation distance should exceed 10% to survive standard daily fluctuations.
Medium Volatility (4-6%)
Standard Bitcoin volatility. Reduce leverage to 5x. A "flash wick" of 5% can happen in minutes; ensure your buffer is at least 15%.
High Volatility (7%+)
Extreme risk (ETF news, CPI data). 2x leverage max recommended. Positions with less than 30% liquidation distance are high-risk.

Liquidated when price rises above this level
MM% = Maintenance Margin Percentage (varies by exchange, typically 0.5% - 1%)
