| From: | To: |
The Nifty Call And Put Calculator calculates the intrinsic value of call and put options based on the current Nifty index level and strike price. It helps traders and investors quickly determine option values at expiration.
The calculator uses standard option payoff formulas:
Where:
Explanation: Call options have value when Nifty is above the strike price, while put options have value when Nifty is below the strike price.
Details: Understanding option intrinsic value is crucial for options trading, risk management, and investment decision making. It helps traders identify profitable opportunities and manage positions effectively.
Tips: Enter the current Nifty index value and the option strike price. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the intrinsic value for both call and put options.
Q1: What is intrinsic value in options?
A: Intrinsic value is the amount by which an option is in-the-money. For calls, it's Nifty minus strike (if positive). For puts, it's strike minus Nifty (if positive).
Q2: Does this calculator consider time value?
A: No, this calculator only computes intrinsic value at expiration. For current option prices, time value and volatility must be considered.
Q3: What happens when an option is out-of-the-money?
A: Out-of-the-money options have zero intrinsic value. The max function ensures the result is never negative.
Q4: Can this be used for American options?
A: This calculator shows expiration value. American options can be exercised early, which may affect their value before expiration.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides exact intrinsic value calculation. However, real market prices include additional factors like time value, volatility, and interest rates.
