How Does the Net Premium Affect the Maximum Loss Amount?

The net premium directly adjusts the maximum loss calculation. If the options are established for a net credit (premium received), this amount reduces the maximum loss, making the floor more effective.

If established for a net debit (premium paid), this cost is added to the maximum loss, slightly lowering the effectiveness of the floor.
