Yes...I do that also. I calculate the following when analyzing covered call writes:

Interest Paid (Margin)
Capital Required
Premium Earned

Return if Called
Annualized Return if Called
Capital Gain (Loss)
Total Income (less cost)

Return if Expires
Annualized Static Return
New Cost Basis
Downside Protection (percentage loss to breakeven point)

No Margin Return If Called
Annualized Return If Called

No Margin Return - Expires
Annualized Static Return

Anyone with a spreadsheet (Excel/Quattro Pro/etc.) can have the spreadsheet calculate all of the above values quite easily.
