Liquidation price calculator
Enter a position the way you would open it on Binance futures and see the price at which Binance would liquidate it, using that coin's own maintenance margin brackets, refreshed every hour. Add your stop-loss to see whether it would close the position first.

How Binance works out a liquidation price
Every position has to keep a minimum margin in the account, the maintenance margin. Binance sets it per coin, as a percentage of the position's size, and the percentage rises in steps (brackets) as the position grows. That is why a big position is liquidated sooner than a small one at the same leverage.
On isolated margin only the margin you put into the position backs it. On cross margin your whole futures wallet does, so the position survives a bigger move, but a loss can then take the wallet with it.
In one line: liquidation price = (margin + maintenance amount − side × quantity × entry) ÷ (quantity × maintenance rate − side × quantity), with side +1 for a long and −1 for a short. The calculator applies it with the bracket your position falls into.
A worked example
100 USDT of margin at 10x opens a 1,000 USDT position. On isolated margin that 100 USDT is all the position can lose, so Binance closes it a little before price has moved 10% against you: the maintenance margin (here 0.4% of the position, set by the coin's bracket) has to stay in the account. For a long from 60,000 that is about 54,217, a move of 9.6%.
Questions
What is a liquidation price?
The price at which the exchange closes your futures position because its margin can no longer cover the loss. On Binance this happens when the position's margin falls to the maintenance margin for its size.
Is isolated or cross margin safer?
Isolated caps the loss at the margin you put into that position. Cross lets the whole futures wallet absorb a loss, which keeps a position open longer but can lose the whole wallet on one trade.
Why does a larger position get liquidated sooner?
Binance raises the maintenance margin rate in brackets as the position grows, so a larger position must keep more margin back and reaches liquidation after a smaller move.
How far away should my stop-loss be?
Closer than the liquidation price, or it never triggers. A stop at no more than 70% of the distance to liquidation leaves room for the maintenance margin and fast moves; HafizeBot's auto-trading applies the same rule when you set a stop.
How accurate is this calculator?
It uses each coin's own brackets from Binance, refreshed every hour, and we check it against the liquidation price Binance reports for real positions. Binance's figure can still differ slightly because it uses the mark price and counts funding and fees already paid; on cross margin, other positions also move it.
