This simplified model excludes added margin, maintenance deductions, fees and funding. Exchange liquidation is triggered by mark price.
What does this model calculate?
A simplified liquidation estimate for an isolated, linear USDT position. Initial margin determines position value: margin × leverage. Here, maintenance margin is based on the position value at the liquidation mark price.
Long = entry × (1 − 1 / leverage) ÷ (1 − MMR)
Short = entry × (1 + 1 / leverage) ÷ (1 + MMR)
MMR is a decimal in the formula: 0.5% = 0.005. At a 60,000 USDT entry, 10× leverage and 0.5% MMR, the estimate is 54,271.36 USDT for long and 65,671.64 USDT for short.
Model boundaries
MMR depends on the contract and risk tier. Added margin, maintenance deductions, closing fees and funding are excluded; cross and inverse contracts are outside this model. Check your exchange’s displayed liquidation level.
