Understand the estimate

What this calculator tells you

The call begins producing a net profit above the break-even stock price; the maximum loss is the premium paid.

Formula and assumptions

Formula: Profit at expiration = (maximum of stock price − strike price or zero − premium) × contracts × 100.

Assumptions

  • Each contract controls 100 shares and is held through expiration.
  • Commissions, assignment fees, taxes, volatility, and time value before expiration are excluded.
