Using the Pudgy Penguins Liquidation Price Calculator
Leverage on PENGU perpetuals turns a modest move into a total loss of margin. This calculator shows the PENGU price at which your position gets force-closed, given your entry, your leverage and which side you are on. The entry field starts at the live PENGU price so the distance to liquidation is a real number, not a hypothetical.
The rule of thumb: at N× leverage, roughly a 100/N percent move against you wipes the margin. At 10× that is about 10%; at 25× it is about 4%. PENGU is a high-volatility brand/meme token that has swung hard since its 2024 launch, repricing on NFT-market sentiment, brand news and listings rather than fundamentals. Compare that number honestly against the distance the calculator gives you before you place the order.
Two adjustments the raw formula does not make. Maintenance margin means liquidation triggers slightly before the theoretical zero — the field above lets you enter your exchange's rate. And on perpetuals you also pay funding, which slowly erodes margin on the crowded side of the trade and can pull the liquidation point closer over a long hold.
How close is liquidation on PENGU, really
- Typical day
- ±3.4%
- Worst day (12mo)
- -21.2%
- Days over ±10%
- 22 in 12mo
- 10× liquidation ≈
- ~9% move
At 10× leverage a move of roughly 9% against you wipes the margin, and PENGU has moved more than 10% in a single day 22 times in the last year. Its worst single day in the window took -21.2% (10 Oct 2025) — more than enough to close a 10× position on its own.
The trap is that PENGU's median day is only ±3.4%: leverage feels safe priced off the calm days and is settled on the violent ones. Set your size against the -21.2% day it actually had, not the typical one, then check the distance this calculator gives you against it.
Figures are derived from PENGU's own daily closes over the window shown and are bounded by it — not all-time values. Prices move; treat them as context, not a forecast.

Frequently asked questions
- At what price does my PENGU long get liquidated?
- Approximately your entry price × (1 − 1/leverage), adjusted for maintenance margin. A 10× PENGU long is liquidated by roughly a 10% drop; a 20× long by roughly 5%. Enter your numbers above for the exact level.
- Does adding margin move the PENGU liquidation price?
- Yes — adding margin to an isolated position lowers effective leverage and pushes the liquidation price further away. In cross margin your whole balance backs the position, which moves the level further out but puts the rest of your account at risk.
- Why did I get liquidated before the price I calculated?
- Three usual reasons: maintenance margin bites before the theoretical level, accumulated funding payments have eaten into your margin, and exchanges liquidate against the mark price (an index) rather than the last trade on that one venue — a wick on a single exchange can differ.
- How is liquidation price calculated?
- For an isolated long: liq ≈ entry × (1 − 1/leverage + maintenance margin). Higher leverage moves liquidation closer to your entry.
- What is maintenance margin?
- It's the minimum equity the exchange requires to keep a position open. Falling below it triggers liquidation.
