Black Scholes valuation calculator

The Black Scholes equation is a well known formula for calculating the theoretical value of an option based on a few parameters.

The theory behind the maths does involve a few assumptions, which can be more or less appropriate depending on the stock in question, structure of the option, and market conditions. That means this is not a perfectly accurate calculation, but can provide a useful indicative value.

The total number of shares in the option-holding being valued.

We have selected 1% as a placeholder. This changes frequently, and would depend on the time to Exit. See here for current yield rates for UK Government Gilts, often used as a benchmark for this input.

We have selected 35% as a placeholder. Volatility is a measure of variation in share price. For private companies whose shares do not have an active market and are not readily traded, volatility is usually benchmarked against a handful of listed companies which operate in a similar sector. Volatility is typically higher for younger companies, high-risk industries, and high growth sectors.
