Is this liquidation calculator exact?

No. It is an approximation. Exact liquidation depends on exchange margin rules, maintenance tiers, funding, fees, and account state.

Why does leverage change liquidation distance?

Higher leverage uses less initial margin, so a smaller adverse price move can consume the margin buffer.
