About the Call/Put Option Payoff Calculator
At expiration, an option is worth only its intrinsic value — the amount it's in the money — regardless of how it was priced before. This calculator compares that payoff to the premium originally paid to find profit or loss.
Formula: Call Payoff = max(Stock Price − Strike, 0) · Put Payoff = max(Strike − Stock Price, 0) · Profit/Loss = (Payoff − Premium Paid) × Contract Size
Because the premium is paid upfront regardless of outcome, an option buyer's maximum loss is always capped at the premium paid, while the breakeven point is the strike price adjusted by that premium.
