How the estimate works
For an isolated-margin position, liquidation happens when losses erode the position margin down to the maintenance-margin requirement. Higher leverage means a smaller price move exhausts that margin, so the liquidation price sits closer to your entry.
The calculator uses the standard simplified relationship: a long is liquidated roughly when price falls by your initial margin fraction (minus the maintenance rate) below entry, and a short when price rises by the same amount above entry. Maintenance margin rate is adjustable and defaults to a common perpetual value.
This is a planning estimate for a single isolated position. It excludes trading fees, funding payments, added margin, and cross-margin effects, all of which shift the real liquidation level on an exchange.
