How to Use the Binance Futures Calculator (PnL, Liquidation, ROE)

Binance Futures Calculator

Binance has a built-in calculator that helps you plan trades before executing them. Here’s how to use each function.

Accessing the Calculator

On the futures trading page, look for the calculator icon near the order entry panel.

1. PnL Calculator

Calculates your profit or loss based on entry and exit prices.

Inputs:

• Entry price
• Exit price
• Quantity (in contracts or coin amount)

Example:

• Long BTC at $100,000
• Exit at $105,000
• Quantity: 0.1 BTC
• PnL = 0.1 × ($105,000 - $100,000) = $500

2. Liquidation Price Calculator

Shows exactly where your position will be liquidated.

Inputs:

• Entry price
• Leverage
• Margin mode (cross/isolated)
• Position size

Example:

• Long BTC at $100,000
• 10x leverage, isolated margin
• Liquidation price ≈ $90,400

3. Target Price Calculator

Calculates the price needed to achieve your desired ROE.

Inputs:

• Entry price
• Leverage
• Target ROE percentage

Example:

• Long BTC at $100,000
• 10x leverage
• Target ROE: 50%
• Target price = $105,000 (5% move × 10x = 50% ROE)

4. Max Open Calculator

Shows the maximum position size you can open.

Based on:

• Available balance
• Leverage
• Current margin requirements

Tips for Using the Calculator

1. Always check liquidation price before entering a trade
2. Calculate fees — they reduce your actual PnL
3. Factor in funding rates for longer-term positions
4. Use target price to set realistic take-profit levels
5. Consider slippage — actual execution may differ slightly
