About This Template
Price binary options instantly with this ready-to-use Excel template. Calculate cash-or-nothing and asset-or-nothing call and put values using the Black-Scholes model with continuous dividend yield support. Ideal for derivatives students, CFA candidates, and finance professionals analyzing exotic option payoffs.
What You Can Calculate
This template computes four binary option prices: cash-or-nothing calls and puts (which pay a fixed amount Q if in the money) and asset-or-nothing calls and puts (which pay the underlying asset value S if in the money). It also includes vanilla call and put prices for comparison, plus built-in invariant checks that verify your results.
Required Inputs
Enter seven parameters: current asset price (S), strike price (K), time to expiration in years (T), risk-free rate, dividend yield, annualized volatility, and the cash payoff amount (Q) for cash-or-nothing options. Default values are pre-filled so you can see results immediately.
Methodology
Prices are calculated using the Black-Scholes framework with the Merton extension for continuous dividend yield. The model computes d1 and d2 parameters, then applies the cumulative normal distribution N(x) to derive option values per Hull Chapter 26.10 formulas.
Assumptions & Limitations
This model assumes European-style exercise (at expiration only), log-normal asset price distribution, constant volatility and interest rates, and frictionless markets with no transaction costs. Binary options have discontinuous payoffs not captured by typical delta hedging strategies.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Invariant Checks section shows Cash Call + Cash Put and Asset Call + Asset Put, which should match their theoretical values. If these pairs do not match, check your inputs for errors.
Yes. Copy the Calculator sheet to create multiple scenarios with different asset prices, volatilities, or time horizons. Compare binary option prices across scenarios to understand sensitivity.
The template includes Vanilla Call and Vanilla Put prices. You can confirm that Vanilla Call equals Asset Call minus K times Cash Call divided by Q.
