 Option Price Calculator Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You use the option price calculator to calculate the NPV of options on transactions (bonds, swaps, FRAs, stocks), and to calculate the option delta.

Features

The following types of options can be valued:

  • Standard European options

  • Barrier options (up&out, up&in, down&out, down&in)

  • Hit-at-end-binary (digital) options

  • One-touch-binary (digital) options

  • Standard American options

    The Hull-White model can be used to price American options on swaps and bonds. American options, whose underlying is not an interest rate instrument, are priced using a method that is based on the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein model.

  • Bermuda options on interest rate instruments

The system categorizes options firstly by their exercise type (European, American), and then by the type of the option itself.
