Problem
Determine if the trade is profitable if the strike price is $100 and the premium paid is $5 per share.
How to use
Select 'Call', set Strike Price to 100, Premium to 5, Current Price to 105, and Contracts to 1.
Outcome
The calculator shows the net profit after accounting for the premium paid.
Background

Problem
Calculate the loss if the stock price remains above the strike price at expiration.
How to use
Select 'Put', set Strike Price to 95, Premium to 2, Current Price to 100, and Contracts to 5.
Outcome
