Hyperliquid Liquidation & Leverage Calculator
See how far price has to move against you before Hyperliquid closes your position, and whether your stop or liquidation comes first. It uses Hyperliquid's published margin rules (base tier, isolated margin); fees and funding aren't included.

Estimate. Real exchanges add fees and funding, and use their own margin tiers — this assumes Hyperliquid’s base tier and its published rules. Education, not financial advice.

What leverage does to your liquidation price
Leverage doesn’t change what the market does. It changes how much of a move you can sit through before your position is closed for you.
Your margin is what you put up. Leverage multiplies it into the position size you control, so a $1,000 margin at 10x controls $10,000. The move that wipes out your margin is the same move, whatever you call it — roughly 1 divided by your leverage. At 10x that is about 10%; at 40x it is about 2.5%.
Liquidation arrives slightly before that, because the exchange keeps back a maintenance margin — on Hyperliquid, half the initial margin at the asset’s maximum leverage. So a 40x position on an asset whose maximum is 40x is liquidated on a move of roughly 1.27%, not 2.5%.
This is why a stop-loss and high leverage can quietly contradict each other. If your stop sits further from entry than your liquidation price does, the stop never gets used: the exchange closes the position first, and at a price you did not choose. The calculator above says which of the two comes first.
