Hyperliquid Liquidation Price Calculator
Work out where an isolated-margin Hyperliquid perpetual is liquidated, for a long or a short, with Hyperliquid's own maintenance margin tier for the coin and the position value you enter, not one default rate. The form starts with the live price of the coin you pick.
With BTC at a live price of $84,149.00, a $10,000.00 10x long on Hyperliquid is liquidated near $76,692.76 (-8.86%), at Hyperliquid's tier 1 maintenance margin rate of 1.25%.

Worked example
BTC long, the numbers above- You open a 10x long of 0.118837 BTC ($10,000.00) at $84,149.00. Your initial margin is $10,000.00 ÷ 10 = $1,000.00.
- Hyperliquid puts a $10,000.00 position in risk tier 1: a maintenance margin rate of 1.25%, and at most 40x leverage.
- Liquidation price = (entry × (1 − 1/leverage)) ÷ (1 − MMR) = $76,692.76.
- That is 8.86% below your entry.
How Hyperliquid calculates liquidation
BTCHyperliquid liquidates an isolated position when its account value falls below the maintenance margin, which is half the initial margin at the max leverage of the position's tier: 1 ÷ (2 × max leverage). Coins with a margin table get lower max leverage on larger positions, with a deduction that keeps the margin continuous. Liquidation uses the mark price; leave the fee at 0 unless you want to reserve the fee to close.
| Tier | Position value | Max leverage | MMR | Deduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $0 – $150M | 40x | 1.25% | – |
| 2 | $150M – no cap | 20x | 2.5% | $1,875,000 |
Every exchange's tiers for BTC: BTC max leverage and margin tiers.
The formula
Long: Liquidation = (Entry × (1 − 1/Leverage) − Deduction ÷ Quantity) ÷ (1 − MMR − fee)
Short: Liquidation = (Entry × (1 + 1/Leverage) + Deduction ÷ Quantity) ÷ (1 + MMR + fee)
The maintenance margin is position value × MMR − deduction, with the MMR and the deduction of the tier your position value falls in. Without a deduction this is the classic isolated-margin formula of the liquidation price calculator. Quantity = position value ÷ entry.
Hyperliquid Liquidation Price Calculator FAQ
How does Hyperliquid calculate the maintenance margin?
As half of the initial margin at the coin's maximum leverage: a coin with 40x max leverage has a 1.25% maintenance margin rate. Larger positions on coins with a margin table fall into tiers with lower max leverage and so a higher rate.
Does Hyperliquid use isolated or cross margin?
Both. This calculator is for isolated margin, where only the position's own margin protects it. In cross margin the whole account balance counts, so the liquidation price is further away.
How is the Hyperliquid liquidation price calculated?
For an isolated long: (entry × (1 − 1/leverage) − deduction ÷ quantity) ÷ (1 − maintenance margin rate − fee). For a short: (entry × (1 + 1/leverage) + deduction ÷ quantity) ÷ (1 + maintenance margin rate + fee). The maintenance margin is charged on the position's value at the liquidation price; the rate and the deduction come from the tier your position value falls in.
Where can I see every tier?
