What is the Call Put Option Calculator & How does it work?
A call option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy an asset at a specified price (strike price) before or on a certain date. Conversely, a put option grants the buyer the right to sell an asset at the strike price within a specific time frame.
The profit and loss for these options depend on the difference between the market price of the underlying asset at expiration and the strike price. For call options, if the market price is higher than the strike price, the buyer profits by exercising the option; otherwise, they lose the premium paid. For put options, the buyer profits if the market price is lower than the strike price.
