Options expiration planner

Use the planner to review call moneyness, put moneyness, intrinsic value, gross strike value, and whether the option is close enough to the strike to require extra care.

Interactive expiration planner

Check moneyness, intrinsic value, and exercise risk

Enter a stock price, call strike, put strike, premium, and contract count. The planner shows simplified expiration math and the questions to verify with your broker.

Enter assumptions to review expiration mechanics.
Call intrinsic value$2.00/share
Put intrinsic value$0.00/share
Gross strike value$10,000
Expiration noteNear strike: verify instructions

This is educational contract math only. It does not predict exercise, assignment, margin, taxes, fills, after-hours movement, broker cutoffs, or whether your firm will submit contrary instructions.

How to use the output

Treat the planner as a prompt, not a broker system. If the output says a contract is near the strike, ask whether you should close the position, submit instructions, reduce size, or avoid relying on automatic processing.
