Options trading involves multiple components—strike price, premiums, market price, and number of contracts. This calculator simplifies the process using the following formula for Call Options:
Profit/Loss = (Current Share Price – Strike Price – Option Price) × Number of Shares
(Each contract controls 100 shares)
The calculator takes your inputs:
Share Price (Market Value)
Strike Price (Exercise Value)
Option Price (Premium Paid)
Number of Contracts
And then computes:
Total Shares = Contracts × 100
Execution Value = Strike Price × Shares
Cost = Option Price × Shares
Total Value = Share Price × Shares
