Even after a few years of moderate growth, stock options can produce a handsome return. Use this calculator to determine the value of your stock options for the next one to 25 years.
- CURRENT STOCK PRICE
If this price is above your option strike price, you are already making money. If the current stock price is currently below the option strike price, your options will not have any value until the current stock price exceeds the strike price.
- STOCK APPRECIATION
This is the annual rate of return you expect from the stock underlying your options. Thanks to the leveraged nature of your stock options, once the underlying stock value has exceeded your strike price, the value of your options will increase at an accelerated rate.
- NUMBER OF OPTIONS
This is the number of stock options you were granted.
- STRIKE PRICE
The strike price is the stock price at which your options were issued. The underlying stock price must exceed the strike price for your options to have any value.
- NUMBER OF YEARS
The number of years you expect to hold these options. This can be any number from one to 25.
