How this is calculated
This assumes worst-case simultaneous assignment on every put you log. That's unlikely on any single ordinary day, but it isn't impossible during a broad, sharp market selloff where many short puts finish in the money at once.
Capital required for each put equals its strike price times 100 shares times the number of contracts, added up across every position you log.
This assumes standard equity option contracts covering 100 shares each. If any position uses an adjusted contract size, adjust your inputs to match before logging it.
This tool doesn't account for puts you might roll or close before expiration. It only totals the cash needed if every logged position were assigned exactly as entered.
