Assume you bought a European-style call option on General Electric Company (GE) with maturity October 15 and strike price $6.25. You paid an option premium of $0.25 per GE share (expressed in October 15 dollars).
Strike Price: $6.25
Option Premium: $0.25
Stock Price: $6.40
The formula to calculate the gain / loss on settlement of call option to the holder of call option is as below:
Stock Price - Strike Price – Option Premium
= 6.40 – 6.25 – 0.25
= -0.10 (Loss)
Hence on settlement the call option holder is having loss of $0.10 per share, hence we will not exercise the option.

Strike Price – Stock Price + Option Premium
= 6.25 – 6.40 + 0.25
