Black-Scholes Calculator FAQ
- Can I use this calculator for American-style options that can be exercised early?
- The tool displays the theoretical price, delta, gamma, theta, vega, and rho. These Greeks show how the option price reacts to changes in the underlying stock price, time decay, and volatility.
- What does the volatility input represent and how accurate is it?
- Volatility is your estimate of how much the underlying stock's price will fluctuate over the option's life. It is the most sensitive input; small changes can significantly affect the calculated fair value.
- Is the risk-free rate already set to a standard value, or do I need to look it up?
- The calculator includes a Risk Free Rate field where you input the annualized rate. Many users reference government bond yields for their specific expiration period to match the model's assumptions.
