Estimate the contract obligation

Use simple contract math to frame a conversation with your broker. This is not a margin, buying-power, or probability calculator.

Enter contract counts and a strike.

The standard contract multiplier is commonly 100 shares, but terms can vary. Confirm contract specifications and account treatment with your broker.

Use the result carefully

Take the estimate to current broker and contract documentation. Review settlement, liquidity, taxes, and remaining option legs.
