how do i calculate rate of return on call options that are spread
user
outside of software that can calculate the returns:  you could calculate your possible returns on that leap spread as you ordinarily would, then place the return results of that and the return results for the covered call position side by side for any given price level of the stock you calculate, and net them out. (netting out the dollar amounts, not percentage returns.)  not a great answer, but there ya go. software like optionvue is expensive
