Options Income Tracker: See Every Dollar You've Earned Selling Options

Connect your IBKR account and instantly see your options income by week, month, and year — broken down by ticker, strategy, and DTE bucket. Built for covered call and cash-secured put sellers.

You're selling covered calls and cash-secured puts every month, but you have no clean view of how much income you've actually generated. Your brokerage shows closed P&L mixed in with unrealized positions. Your spreadsheet is always a few trades behind. You can't easily answer 'how much did I make selling options last quarter?' Days to Expiry is an options income tracker built specifically for sellers. Connect your IBKR account once — your trades sync automatically. You get a dedicated income dashboard that separates premium collected from capital gains, organizes it by time period and ticker, and shows you the metrics that matter for a systematic income strategy.

The Problem: The Options Income Dashboard Built for Premium Sellers

1
P&L Not Income — Your broker mixes premium collected with unrealized stock positions; there's no clean "income earned selling options" view
2
Spreadsheet Lag — Manual updates mean your tracker is always a few trades behind, and you're always doing ROI math by hand
3
No Per-Ticker View — No easy way to see which underlying stocks are generating the most premium income for you each month
4
No Expired Worthless Rate — You can't see what percentage of your options expire worthless, a key metric for income sellers

The Solution: What You Can Track With Days to Expiry

📊 Income Summary Dashboard — Weekly bar chart, monthly totals, and a running YTD figure; filter by covered call, CSP, or strategy type

🔄 Automatic IBKR Sync — Connect once via Flex Query; every expired, closed, or assigned option is automatically imported and categorised

🏆 Per-Ticker Income Breakdown — Total premium collected, average premium per contract, number of trades, and annualised yield per underlying

📈 DTE & Strategy Analytics — Break down income by DTE bucket (0–7, 8–21, 22–45 days) and see which timeframes generate the most reliable premium

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from just tracking options income in a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet requires manual entry after every trade, is prone to errors, and gives you no analytics out of the box. Days to Expiry syncs automatically from IBKR, categorises every trade, and shows income breakdowns that would take hours to build manually — expired worthless rate, annualised yield per ticker, DTE performance buckets. Most spreadsheet users tell us they were always a few trades behind and had no idea which tickers were actually performing best.

Does this work if I sell both covered calls and cash-secured puts?

Yes. Days to Expiry tracks all short option strategies and labels them by type. You can see your covered call income and cash-secured put income separately, or combined. It's designed specifically for wheel strategy investors and systematic premium sellers who use multiple strategies on the same underlying.

Can I see my options income for tax purposes or to share with my accountant?

Yes. You can export your income data by time period (full year, quarter, custom range) as a CSV. The export shows premium collected per trade with open/close dates, making it straightforward to reconcile with your brokerage 1099 or share with an accountant. Note: Days to Expiry is a tracking tool, not tax software — always confirm with your tax advisor.
