Black-Scholes Option Pricing Calculator + Greeks
Calculate theoretical European option prices and all five Greeks: delta, gamma, theta, vega, rho. Includes implied volatility input.
European-style options, no dividends. Real-world prices differ due to demand, skew, and early-exercise premium (American options).

What Black-Scholes gives you
Given a spot price, strike, days to expiry, risk-free rate and implied volatility, the Black-Scholes formula returns the theoretical fair value of a European-style option — plus the Greeks that tell you how that value will change as inputs move.
The five Greeks
Delta: change in option price per $1 move in the underlying. A 0.5 delta call gains $0.50 if the stock rises $1. Gamma: rate of change of delta — high gamma means delta swings quickly. Theta: $ lost per day to time decay (always working against you if you're long). Vega: $ change per 1% move in implied volatility. Rho: $ change per 1% move in interest rates — usually the least relevant Greek.
What this does not model
Black-Scholes assumes European exercise (no early), no dividends, lognormal returns, and constant volatility. Real markets violate all four. For US single-name equity options that are American-style, use this as an approximation. Real broker prices include skew, demand pressure, and early-exercise premium.
A theoretical value is one question; what the position actually pays at expiry is another, and the two diverge as time and volatility move. The options profit calculator covers the payoff.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the Black-Scholes Calculator.
What is the Black-Scholes model?
Black-Scholes is a mathematical model that estimates the theoretical fair price of an option from the spot price, strike, time to expiry, volatility, and the risk-free rate.
Which option Greeks does this calculator show?
It returns the full set — delta, gamma, theta, vega, and rho — alongside the theoretical option price.
Does Black-Scholes work for American options?
The standard Black-Scholes formula prices European-style options (exercisable only at expiry). American options, which can be exercised early, need adjusted models, though the estimate is still a useful reference.
What is implied volatility?
Implied volatility is the volatility figure that, put into the model, makes the theoretical price match the market price — the market’s expectation of future movement.
