Detailed Breakdown
Important: This calculator provides estimates for educational purposes only. Actual loan terms, rates, and liquidation thresholds vary by platform and can change at any time. Crypto prices are volatile — your collateral value can drop rapidly. Always maintain a conservative LTV and monitor your positions. This is not financial advice.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the USD value of the crypto you want to use as collateral
- Set your desired LTV ratio — this determines how much you can borrow (lower = safer)
- Set the liquidation threshold for your platform (typically 75-85%)
- Enter the interest rate and loan term to see total costs
Understanding the Results
- Loan Amount: How much you can borrow at your chosen LTV ratio.
- Liquidation Price: If your collateral value drops to this level, the platform will sell your collateral to repay the loan.
- Safety Buffer: How much your collateral can drop (in %) before liquidation. Aim for 40%+ for safety.
- Total Repayment: Your loan amount plus accumulated interest over the loan term.
