Liquidation mechanics on Binance
Binance uses an isolated margin model by default for perpetual futures. When your equity in an isolated position falls below the maintenance margin requirement, Binance's risk engine triggers liquidation — forcibly closing the position to prevent a negative balance.
The maintenance margin rate on Binance is typically 0.5% for major pairs (BTC, ETH). For a long position, liquidation price ≈ entryPrice × (1 − 1/leverage + 0.005). At 125× maximum leverage this means even a tiny adverse move can trigger liquidation — which is why most experienced traders use 5–20× rather than the maximum.
Binance also has an "auto-deleveraging" (ADL) system for extreme scenarios where the insurance fund is insufficient. In practice, staying well above your liquidation price eliminates ADL risk entirely.
Binance fee structure
Binance charges maker fee 0.02% and taker fee 0.05% on perpetual futures. Maximum available leverage is 125×. This calculator pre-fills these defaults so you get accurate results without needing to look up the fee schedule. If you are on a VIP tier with discounted fees, adjust the fee fields accordingly.
Maker orders (limit orders that add liquidity) cost less than taker orders (market orders that remove liquidity). On Binance, using limit orders for both entry and exit can reduce your total fee cost significantly compared to market orders.
