Leverage & Margin Calculator
See the notional value, required margin, and approximate liquidation prices for a leveraged position before you open it.
Leverage & Margin Calculator
Notional value is position size times entry price. Required margin is notional value divided by leverage. Liquidation prices shown here are approximate: they assume isolated margin and ignore fees, funding, slippage, and your broker or exchange maintenance margin, so the real liquidation price may differ.

About our Leverage & Margin Calculator
The Leverage & Margin Calculator shows how leverage changes the capital you must put up for a position. Enter your position size, entry price, and leverage to see the notional value, the margin required, and approximate long and short liquidation prices. The liquidation prices assume isolated margin and ignore fees, funding, and maintenance margin, so treat them as estimates, not exact trigger prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is required margin calculated?
Required margin is the notional value of the position divided by the leverage. Notional value is position size multiplied by entry price, so at 10x leverage a $1,000 position requires $100 of margin.
What is a liquidation price?
It is the price at which your position would be closed because your margin can no longer support the loss. For a long position it sits below your entry price, and for a short position it sits above it, with higher leverage bringing both closer to your entry price.
Why are the liquidation prices labeled approximate?
The calculation assumes isolated margin and ignores fees, funding costs, slippage, and the maintenance margin required by your broker or exchange. Any of those can move the real liquidation price, so use the figures as a guide, not a guarantee.
Does higher leverage mean higher profit?
Higher leverage increases both potential gains and potential losses for the same price move, and it brings the liquidation price closer to your entry price. It does not change the direction of the market or improve the odds of a trade.
Is this calculator financial advice?
No. It is an educational calculator only. It does not recommend any leverage level or trade, and leveraged trading can lose more than your initial margin in some market conditions.
