Liquidation price.Before you open it.
Pick a market, your entry and leverage. The maintenance margin comes from that market's max leverage on Hyperliquid.
Estimate for an isolated position, before fees and funding. Large positions can fall into higher margin tiers; cross positions use your whole account.
How it is worked out
Hyperliquid sets the maintenance margin at half the initial margin needed at a market's maximum leverage: at 50× max leverage that is 1%, at 10× it is 5%. A position is liquidated when its equity falls below that.
For an isolated position opened at entry price E with leverage L and maintenance rate m:
- Long: E × (1 − 1/L) ÷ (1 − m)
- Short: E × (1 + 1/L) ÷ (1 + m)
This is an estimate. It leaves out fees and funding, and very large positions can fall into higher margin tiers. Cross-margin positions can use the whole account as margin and usually liquidate further away. Check the exact figure in Hyperliquid's app before trading.
