State compatible original legs
Both fictional calls share underlying, expiry and one-unit quantity. The 90 call is long and the 110 call short. Net premium paid is 12−4=8.
Compute the piecewise payoff
For S≤90, payoff is zero. For 90<S<110, payoff is S−90. For S≥110, subtracting the two call payouts leaves 20. Simple profit is each amount minus 8.
Reconcile the boundaries
| Terminal price | Combined payoff | Simple profit |
|---|---|---|
| 80 | 0 | -8 |
| 90 | 0 | -8 |
| 98 | 8 | 0 |
| 100 | 10 | 2 |
| 110 | 20 | 12 |
| 130 | 20 | 12 |
Keep the spread limits conditional
Under these net-debit inputs the simple loss floor is −8, gain cap 12 and crossing 98. Those values are not an option-price model, an annual return or a recommendation to use the strategy.
