It also shows the value of the options at a given stock price and calculates the earnings after the cost of the options (the strike price) is taken into consideration.

CAVEATS

This program may have bugs or errors in it. The user should verify all calculations by hand or using other software before making decisions.

There are quite a few rounding operations which take place, which may affect the accuracy of final numbers.

Some of the displayed numbers may not show all significant digits, especially in the case of monthly value, cost, and earnings.

Trading costs, and tax considerations are not taken into account. For more information, please talk to a qualified accountant, lawyer, broker, and psychiatrist.

Some of your option grants may vest at different times during the month. This program groups all of these together, so you may have to wait until the middle or end of a month to be able to excercise them.
