Options Payoff Calculator

Every option strategy has a shape. This builder lets you pick a preset (long call, covered call, spreads, straddle, iron condor) or assemble your own legs, then draws the profit-and-loss at expiration across every underlying price. It reads out max profit, max loss, the net debit or credit, and the break-even points, so you can compare strategies on payoff and risk before you ever place one. At expiration a call is worth the price above its strike and a put the price below; the tool simply sums your legs.

Profit / loss at expiration ($) vs the underlying price. Hover for any price. Each contract = 100 shares.

How it works

At expiration a call is worth max(price − strike, 0) and a put max(strike − price, 0). Buying pays the premium; selling collects it. The curve sums every leg across underlying prices, so max profit, max loss, and break-even fall out of the shape. This ignores early exercise, dividends, and time value before expiry.
