Payoff at expiration

Methodology & how to use this

Payoff formulas (per share, at expiration)

  • Long call: max(0, S − K) − premium. BE = K + premium.
  • Long put: max(0, K − S) − premium. BE = K − premium.
  • Covered call: (S − S₀) + premium − max(0, S − K). BE = S₀ − premium. Max gain caps at strike.
  • Cash-secured put: premium − max(0, K − S). BE = K − premium. Max loss if stock goes to 0.

What's not modeled

This is intrinsic value at expiration only — no time value, no early assignment, no commissions or fees. Use it to understand shape and breakeven, not to price an option today.
