How to use the Condor calculator

Buy 1 call at K1; Sell short 1 call at K2; Sell short 1 call at K3; Buy 1 call at K4. K1 < K2 < … when strikes differ. Stock quantities illustrate standard 100-share options; match the actual contract multiplier and deliverable.

Understanding the payoff

Results add the payoff of each displayed leg, including quantities, entry prices and fees.

These formulas describe the standard strategy before fees. The results above include the total fees entered and are calculated from your actual legs.

Worked example

The starting values are illustrative. Replace strikes and premiums with values for matching contracts.

Assumptions and limits

This is an expiration payoff estimate, not a live option quote or a prediction. It assumes all option legs expire together on one stock or ETF, the stock price cannot be negative, and options settle at intrinsic value. The default multiplier is 100 shares per contract; adjust it for the contract being modeled. Early assignment, exercise decisions, dividends, interest, taxes, and slippage can change realized results. Cash requirements and broker margin are separate from maximum loss. Different expirations, futures options, and adjusted contracts with non-cash deliverables are not supported.

Method: add each leg’s intrinsic value at expiration, subtract its entry cost with the correct buy/sell sign, and subtract total fees. See Cboe’s worked spread example on Fidelity for a reference calculation.
