How this calculator works

Prices are theoretical Black-Scholes values for European-style exercise, using a 365-day year. Theta is per calendar day; vega and rho are per 1 percentage-point change in IV and rates. Covered call P&L includes the 100-share stock leg (per-share basis). Real market prices also reflect bid/ask spreads, dividends and early-exercise value on American options.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Black-Scholes model?

The standard model for pricing European-style options. Five inputs — stock price, strike, time to expiry, volatility and the risk-free rate — produce a theoretical fair value plus the Greeks.

How is theta calculated?

Theta is the derivative of option value with respect to time, expressed per calendar day (annual theta ÷ 365). An ATM 30-day option at 30% IV decays about $0.06/share/day, and decay accelerates into expiry.

What is a good IV?

Judge IV against the stock's own history (IV rank). Large caps often sit at 20-35%; high-growth names can exceed 60-100%. Buyers want IV low, sellers want it rich relative to realized volatility.

Covered call vs cash-secured put?

Same payoff shape at the same strike: capped upside, premium income, downside below breakeven. Covered calls use shares you own; CSPs use cash reserved to buy shares at the strike.

What is a breakeven?

The expiry price where the position P&L is zero. Long call: strike + premium. Long put: strike − premium. Straddles have two breakevens.
