Long Floor Payoff


A long floor is a floor held by the purchaser (the long) against payment of the floor premium to the seller (the short). The payoff of a long floor is the larger of the difference between the strike price (strike rate) and  the current market price (current market rate) or zero, at the time of expiration (for European style contracts):
