How it is calculated

Leverage makes the position bigger than your margin, so the profit or loss on the move is multiplied by the same amount.

  • Position size = margin × leverage
  • Coins = position size ÷ entry price
  • Gross result = coins × (exit price − entry price) for a long, the other way round for a short
  • Fees = position size × fee, plus coins × exit price × fee
  • Net result = gross result − fees
  • Return on margin = net result ÷ margin
  • Liquidation price, long = entry price × (1 − 1 ÷ leverage + maintenance margin)
  • Liquidation price, short = entry price × (1 + 1 ÷ leverage − maintenance margin)
  • If liquidated = the whole margin is lost

Frequently asked questions

Short answers on leverage, profit and the risk of liquidation.

It shows what leverage does to one trade. You enter your margin, the leverage, long or short, the entry and exit prices and the fee. You get the size of the position, the profit or loss after fees, the return on your margin, the same trade without leverage and an estimated liquidation price. A table runs the same trade from 1× to 100× so you can see where the gain grows and where the position would be wiped out.

The position is your margin times the leverage, and the profit comes from the whole position. With ₹10,000 at 10× you control ₹1,00,000, which is 0.04 BTC at ₹25,00,000. If the price rises 4% to ₹26,00,000 the position gains ₹4,000. After 0.05% fees on each side, ₹102 in all, you keep ₹3,898, a 38.98% return on your ₹10,000. Without leverage the same ₹10,000 would make ₹389.80.

Yes, in exactly the same way. At 10× a 4% fall to ₹24,00,000 loses ₹4,098 after fees, 40.98% of the margin. And a large enough move against you closes the position before your exit: at 25× the same 4% fall passes the liquidation price, so the whole ₹10,000 is gone.

Divide 1 by the leverage to get the move that would wipe out the margin, then take off the maintenance margin the exchange keeps back. At 10× with a 0.5% maintenance margin the move is 10% less 0.5%, 9.5%, so a long from ₹25,00,000 is liquidated at about ₹22,62,500. Exchanges use their own formulas, a mark price and higher maintenance for big positions, so treat this as an estimate. For more detail, use the Crypto Liquidation Price Calculator.

Perpetual futures charge or pay a funding rate every few hours, which adds up on a trade held for days, and fees are often lower for orders that add to the order book. For a trade with funding and separate fees to open and close, use the Crypto Futures P&L Calculator. To size a position from the amount you are willing to lose, use the Crypto Position Size Calculator.

Profit from crypto is taxed at a flat 30%, or 31.2% with cess, and a loss cannot be set off against other income or other crypto gains. How profit from crypto futures is treated can depend on the exchange and how the contract is settled, so check with a tax professional. This calculator shows figures before tax; for the tax on a sale, use the India Crypto Tax Calculator.
