About OptCurve
OptCurve is a free, browser-based options profit and loss calculator paired with an in-depth strategy education library. Our goal is to make options payoff math clear, visual, and accessible to every trader.
What we do
OptCurve helps you model the expiration payoff of single-leg and multi-leg options positions. You select an underlying scenario, configure one or more strategies, and instantly see the combined profit and loss curve, breakeven points, and key risk metrics on an interactive chart.
Alongside the calculator, we publish detailed guides for 14 core options strategies — from long calls and puts to vertical spreads, straddles, strangles, iron butterflies, and iron condors. Each guide explains how the position is built, its payoff formula, breakevens, ideal conditions, and the risks to manage.
Why we built it
Many traders learn strategy names before they truly understand the shape of a position's payoff. We built OptCurve to close that gap with a tool that emphasizes visual intuition and transparent math, rather than opaque black-box outputs.
How the calculator works
All calculations run entirely in your browser. OptCurve computes the intrinsic value of each option leg at a range of underlying prices, applies your premiums, contract size, and global multiplier, and sums the legs into a combined payoff. We do not connect to brokerages, request account credentials, or store your trade inputs.
