Numerical example
Let's work through a complete numerical example for each Greek (Delta, Theta, Gamma, Vega, and Rho) for both a stock option (no dividend) and a currency option using the formulas.
Scenario:
Stock Option (No Dividend):
- Stock Price (S) = ₹100
- Strike Price (K) = ₹105
- Time to Expiration (T) = 1 year
- Volatility (σ) = 20% (0.20)
- Risk-Free Interest Rate (r) = 5% (0.05)
- Dividend Yield (q) = 0%
Currency Option:
- Spot Price (S) = ₹75 (foreign currency per 1 unit)
- Strike Price (K) = ₹80
- Time to Expiration (T) = 0.5 years
- Volatility (σ) = 15% (0.15)
- Risk-Free Interest Rate (r) = 4% (0.04)
- Foreign Interest Rate (r_f) = 2% (0.02)

2. Theta (Θ)

Summary Table of Results:
Greek | Stock Option (No Dividend) | Currency Option |
---|---|---|
Delta | 0.5418 | 0.367 |
Theta | -5.594 | -2.637 |
Gamma | 0.0198 | 0.0671 |
Vega | 39.65 | 20.721 |
Rho | 45.41 | 13.13 |
This is how you calculate each of the Greeks for both a stock option (no dividend) and a currency option.
