Risks and limitations

Options involve leverage, expiration, assignment, liquidity, volatility, and total-loss risk. The calculator uses visitor-entered assumptions and cannot know your account, broker, tax situation, live prices, margin treatment, or personal risk tolerance.

Outputs are hypothetical educational estimates.
Spreads and liquidity can make exits worse than modeled.
American-style equity options can create assignment considerations.
Volatility and time decay can change prices before expiration.
