Formulas used
- Risk amount = balance × risk%
- Quantity = risk amount ÷ |entry − stop|
- Notional = quantity × entry · Margin = notional ÷ leverage
- Net PnL = direction × (exit − entry) × qty − fees(in + out)
- Liq (long) ≈ entry × (1 − 1/lev + maint% + fee%)
- Safe lev = 1 ÷ (stop% + buffer% + maint% + fee%)
- Breakeven win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + R:R)
FAQ
Straight answers, no hedging.
What is a safe leverage level?
One where your estimated liquidation price sits beyond your stop loss with a buffer — so the stop, not the exchange, closes your losers. This calculator solves for that level from your stop distance, maintenance margin, fees, and a configurable buffer.
Why does a tighter stop allow higher leverage?
Liquidation distance scales with 1/leverage. If your stop is very close to entry, liquidation can sit beyond it even at high leverage — but slippage and wicks make small buffers dangerous, which is why a configurable buffer is built in.
Is this exact for Binance, Bybit, OKX, or Bitget?
No calculator outside the exchange can be exact. Liquidation and margin depend on the venue's maintenance-margin tiers, margin mode, funding, fees, and any position changes. These figures are close estimates for isolated USDT linear perpetuals — always confirm on your exchange before trading.
Does this calculator give trading advice?
No. Every output is general market and risk education — not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to trade. What you do with the numbers is your decision and your responsibility.
