BNB (BNB) leverage & liquidation, in plain terms
BNB perps typically offer up to 75x with a tier-1 maintenance margin around 0.65%. BNB is steadier than most alts but prone to sharp, exchange-driven moves. As always, the max leverage on offer is a marketing number, not a recommendation — size for the worst hour, not the average one.
How the BNB liquidation price is calculated
Liquidation happens when your losses eat the margin backing the position. For an isolated long, the rough formula is entry × (1 − 1/leverage + maintenance margin); for a short it is entry × (1 + 1/leverage − maintenance margin). Higher leverage puts liquidation closer to your entry — at 10x a long is wiped by roughly a 10% drop, at 25x by about 4%. That is why sizing matters: use the position size calculator to risk a fixed amount, and the PnL calculator to see the upside before you enter.
