The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Formula

You can compare the prices of your options by using the Black-Scholes formula. It's a well-regarded formula that calculates theoretical values of an investment based on current financial metrics such as stock prices, interest rates, expiration time, and more. The Black-Scholes formula helps investors and lenders to determine the best possible option for pricing.

The Black Scholes Calculator uses the following formulas:

C = SP e^-dt N(d₁) - ST e^-rt N(d₂)

P = ST e^-rt N(-d₂) - SP e^-dt N(-d₁)

d₁ = ( ln(SP/ST) + (r - d + (σ²/2)) t ) / σ √t

d₂ = ( ln(SP/ST) + (r - d - (σ²/2)) t ) / σ √t = d₁ - σ √t

Where:

C  is the value of the call option,

P  is the value of the put option,

N (.)  is the cumulative standard normal distribution function,

SP  is the current stock price (spot price),

ST  is the strike price (exercise price),

e  is the exponential constant (2.7182818),

ln  is the natural logarithm,

r  is the current risk-free interest rate (as a decimal),

t  is the time to expiration in years,

σ  is the annualized volatility of the stock (as a decimal),

d  is the dividend yield (as a decimal).
