Inputs That Change the Output the Most

Entry price, position size, leverage, and margin mode all move the liquidation-price estimate. Get any one of them wrong and the number the calculator shows won't match what actually happens on your real position.

Margin Mode Changes the Math on KuCoin

Isolated and cross margin — run the calculator for both if you're unsure which one you'll actually use before opening the position.

What an Exchange Calculator Usually Leaves Out

KuCoin's own calculator focuses on one position at a time. It typically won't total the funding paid across a holding period, or compare your effective cost against another exchange's fee schedule for the same trade size.

A Two-Step Habit Worth Building

Use KuCoin's built-in calculator for the liquidation price on a specific position, then run your expected monthly volume through a broader fee calculator to see the total cost picture, including the KCS discount and funding.

• Fee calculator for total cost across a trading period
