Bull Call Spread (Debit Call Spread) Calculator

This Bull Call Spread Calculator helps you estimate payoff at expiration for a bull call spread, also called a debit call spread. The strategy consists of buying a call at a lower strike and selling a call at a higher strike (same expiration), resulting in a net debit. It’s commonly used when you are moderately bullish and want defined risk with capped upside.

How a Bull Call Spread Works

A bull call spread is a vertical spread that profits if the underlying rises, but has limited profit. You pay a net debit upfront and your maximum loss is typically that debit (before fees).

Key Formulas

Net Debit = (Long Call Premium − Short Call Premium) × 100 × Contracts
Breakeven = Long Strike + (Long Premium − Short Premium)
Max Profit = (Short Strike − Long Strike − Net Debit per share) × 100 × Contracts
Max Loss = Net Debit × 100 × Contracts

Bull Call Spread FAQ

When does a bull call spread make money?
The spread is profitable at expiration when the underlying is above the breakeven: Long Strike + Net Debit per share.
What is the maximum profit on a bull call spread?
Maximum profit is capped and occurs when the underlying finishes at or above the short strike at expiration. It’s approximately: (Short Strike − Long Strike − Net Debit per share) × 100 × contracts.
What is the maximum loss?
Maximum loss is generally the net debit paid (before fees), and occurs if the underlying finishes at or below the long strike at expiration.
Does this calculator include IV and the Greeks?
