A protective put caps your downside on the PFG position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current PFG option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share PFG position at $113.14 is worth $565,700. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $11,314 to $22,628) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off PFG's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.
