Formula and assumptions

Initial margin = notional ÷ leverage. Maintenance margin = notional × MMR. The displayed buffer is not an exact liquidation buffer because exchanges include tiering, fees and mark-price rules.

Worked example

A $10,000 position at 10× uses about $1,000 initial margin. If only $1,500 is allocated, small adverse moves and fees can consume the remaining buffer quickly.
