How To Use This Calculator

Pick a strategy, set the underlying's current price, strikes and premiums, and the payoff line does the rest.

This models value at expiration only, pure intrinsic value, not a live theoretical price. For pricing an individual option before expiration, with time value and the Greeks, use the Black-Scholes tool instead. This tool is about the shape of a combined position: where it breaks even, and how much it can make or lose.

Your Inputs

All strikes and premiums are per share; multiply by 100 for a standard listed contract. This shows value at expiration only, ignoring time value, volatility and interest rate effects that matter before expiry.
