Value (currency units) by Terminal level

Discounted option value today versus contractual payoff at maturity.

  • Today
  • Payoff
Terminal level: 141.99. Today: 0.4697. Payoff: 0.0000.

Use Left/Right or Up/Down arrows to inspect values; Home and End jump to the bounds.

Today’s value includes discounted optionality and time value. The maturity payoff contains neither.
