Iron Condor Calculator
Max profit, max loss, and break-evens for a credit iron condor.
How the calculation works
Requires put long < put short < call short < call long. Wing width is the wider of the put or call spreads. Max profit is the net credit × multiplier × contracts. Max loss is (width − credit) × scale. Lower BE is short put − credit; upper BE is short call + credit. If strikes are out of order, valid = 0 and other results zero out.
Formula & example
Max profit = credit × mult × contracts; Max loss = (width − credit) × scale; BE = short put − credit and short call + credit
90/95/105/110 with $1.40 credit, width $5 → max profit $140, max loss $360 per contract (×100).
Why use this calculator
Four strikes plus credit make it easy to mis-size wings. This enforces ordering and shows the risk/reward in dollars.
When to use it
Use when structuring a defined-risk short premium condor and you need max loss and break-evens before entry.
Tips for accurate results
- If valid shows 0, fix strike order before trusting other outputs.
- Early assignment and pin risk are not modeled.
FAQ
What if put and call wing widths differ?
Max loss uses the wider wing (standard educational shortcut for an unbalanced condor).
