Black–Scholes model

The Black-Scholes model is a mathematical model used to price options and other financial derivatives. It is based on the assumption that the price of a stock follows a geometric Brownian motion, which is a type of random process. The model takes into account various factors such as the current stock price, the exercise price of the option, the time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, and the volatility of the stock.

Output

At top it has true "Call" and "put" value followed by the most used option Greeks i.e. Delta, Vega, Theta.

With help of Greeks graphs one can analyse how the option price will effect if asset price moved into any particular direction.
