Long Call Option Profit Calculator
Profit, loss and break even on a long call held to expiry.
Method
How it works
This calculator covers a long call option bought for a premium and held until expiry. Intrinsic value is the amount, if any, by which the expiry price exceeds the strike price.
Profit per share subtracts the premium from intrinsic value, then total profit multiplies by contracts and the standard 100 shares per contract. It does not value an option before expiry or include implied volatility, time value, exercise fees or commissions.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the break-even price for a long call at expiry?
The calculator adds the premium paid per share to the strike price.
What is the maximum loss on a long call?
Under this expiry-only calculation, maximum loss is the premium paid: premium per share multiplied by contracts and 100.
Can this calculator value a call option before expiry?
No. It covers only a purchased long call held to expiry and uses expiry intrinsic value, not an options-pricing model.
Why does each contract multiply the result by 100?
The calculation assumes the standard contract size of 100 shares per option contract.
