Bachelier model

for european options on stock

\( c= S N(d_1) - K e^{-rT}N(d_1)+\sigma \sqrt{T}n(d_1) \)

\( p= K e^{-rT}N(-d_1)-S N(-d_1)+\sigma \sqrt{T}n(d_1) \)

where
  • \(c\) = call price
  • \(p\) = put price
  • \(S\) = stock price
  • \(K\) = strike price
  • \(T\) = time to expiration (year fraction)
  • \(r\) = risk-free interest rate %
  • \(\sigma\) = annualized volatility %
  • \(N(x)\) = Cumulative Normal Distribution function
  • \(n(x)\) = Normal Density function
  • \(d_1=\frac{S - K}{\sigma \sqrt{T}} \)
