Futures liquidation-price estimator
Estimate one documented entry-notional isolated linear contract boundary using supplied margin parameters. This is not a universal exchange or cross-margin model.
Inputs
Hypothetical example. Replace these inputs with your own.
Result
Calculation result
Example result
- Modeled liquidation mark-price boundary
- 19,700 USDT/unit
- Zero-equity price reference
- 19,600 USDT/unit
- Entry position notional
- 20,000 USDT
- Entry initial margin
- 400 USDT
- Fixed entry-notional maintenance margin
- 100 USDT
- Initial plus extra isolated margin
- 400 USDT
- Current modeled equity minus maintenance
- 300 USDT
- Mark-to-boundary adverse distance
- 1.5 %
- Only the documented entry-notional isolated linear USDT approximation is supported. Maintenance stays fixed at entry notional with your supplied rate and tier deduction.
- The supplied mark price is the trigger reference. Exchange fees, funding, tier changes, mark-notional maintenance, cross/portfolio/inverse margin and liquidation execution are excluded. Confirm the actual venue rules separately.

Formula and worked example
Initial margin = entry notional / leverage. Maintenance = entry notional × supplied rate − supplied deduction. Long boundary = entry − (initial + extra − maintenance) / quantity; short adds that amount.
Hypothetical long: one unit at 20,000 USDT with 50x leverage, 0.5% maintenance and no extra margin gives a 19,700 boundary and 19,600 zero-equity reference. This entry-notional approximation excludes closing fees, funding, tier changes and cross/portfolio/inverse margin.
These estimates use bounded decimal arithmetic. They are scenario calculations, not trading instructions or forecasts.
