Options Profit Calculator was one of the first tools available for visualizing option payoffs, and many traders still use it today. GammaWins Calculator is a modern alternative built for traders who want faster iteration, clearer visuals, and deeper insight into how option strategies behave. By combining PnL and Greeks in the same chart and extending analysis across time, GammaWins moves beyond static payoff tables and single-point snapshots.
Options Profit Calculator focuses primarily on payoff tables and static PnL charts. While this can be useful for basic checks, the interface is dated and makes it difficult to iterate quickly or explore variations of a strategy.
GammaWins Calculator is designed around active strategy exploration. Changing strikes, expiries, quantities, or assumptions updates the analysis immediately, allowing you to test ideas and compare alternatives without friction. This makes it easier to reason about strategies as dynamic positions rather than static outcomes.

Value chart in GammaWins Calculator with Delta/Vega overlaysOptions Profit Calculator is limited to payoff tables and PnL charts. It does not provide Greeks or tools to visualize how risk evolves.
GammaWins Calculator offers more advanced charting capabilities. You can plot PnL together with any combination of Greeks in the same chart, making it easier to understand how payoff and risk interact. In addition, GammaWins allows you to switch the X-axis to time, showing how PnL and Greeks evolve continuously over the life of a strategy, including the effects of time decay and shifts in Greek sensitivities.
This approach provides a more complete view of how strategies behave across time, rather than relying on a small set of predefined evaluation points.

Value and theta of a put option over its lifetimeOptions Profit Calculator provides a small set of summary outputs, typically focused on payoff values and probability of profit.
GammaWins Calculator offers a broader and more configurable set of strategy metrics. In addition to max profit and loss, probability of profit, and breakeven ranges, you can analyze net Greeks, spread cost, premium yields for CC and CSP strategies, and intrinsic and extrinsic value. You can also choose which metrics to display, allowing you to focus on the dimensions that matter most to your analysis and reduce visual clutter.
Options Profit Calculator relies on an older interface and displays numerous ads, including video ads, which can interrupt analysis and make the tool harder to use. Iterating on strategies often requires navigating between cluttered views.
GammaWins Calculator is built with a clean, modern interface focused entirely on analysis. There are no ads, popups, or distractions. The layout is designed to make strategy construction, visualization, and iteration as smooth and efficient as possible.
GammaWins Calculator includes basic volatility indicators to provide additional context when evaluating strategies. You can view current implied and realized volatility for the selected underlying, along with their rank and percentile relative to the past year.
These indicators are intended to complement strategy analysis by helping you understand whether current option pricing reflects relatively high or low volatility compared to recent history. Options Profit Calculator does not provide volatility indicators.
Implied volatility (ATM and Model-free) and Realized volatility indicators in GammaWins CalculatorGammaWins is being developed as a broader platform for options analysis rather than a single, static calculator. In addition to ongoing improvements to the calculator itself, new products and features are being added over time.
One example is an integrated strategy journal that is currently under development. The goal is to allow traders to save strategies, track portfolios, and analyze PnL and risk over time within the same ecosystem. This journal is planned to include a generous free tier and is designed to complement, not replace, the calculator.
Options Profit Calculator has remained largely unchanged for many years and does not offer portfolio-level tracking or journaling capabilities.
Options Profit Calculator played an important role historically by making option payoff analysis widely accessible. However, its limited feature set, dated interface, and static analysis model make it difficult to use as a modern strategy analysis tool.
GammaWins Calculator is a modern alternative built for traders who want deeper insight, faster iteration, and a cleaner workflow. If you are currently using Options Profit Calculator and feel constrained by its limitations, GammaWins offers a more flexible and powerful way to analyze option strategies.
