Method
The calculator uses a standard Black-Scholes approach for European-style options. Vega is reported as the estimated dollar change in option price for a one percentage point change in implied volatility. Theta is reported per calendar day. Rho is reported per one percentage point change in the risk-free rate.
Real-world option prices may differ due to liquidity, early exercise features, dividends, market conditions, bid/ask spreads, and model assumptions. The site is not a brokerage, advisor, or trading platform, and is intended for students, investors, traders, and anyone learning about options.
