Herm, I have a question about the covered call calculator.

I downloaded the demo version for quick look. You seem to calculate the ROI on the cost of the stock, not on the net cost of the investment and are therefore understating the ROI.

For example, a purchase of stock for $10.00 with a $10.00 strike with an option price of $2.00 shows a ROI of 20%. Based on a net cost of $8.00 for the buy-write the ROI should be 25%.
