Parity gap

Formula

C − P = S − K·e^(−rT)

Parity is model-free: it follows from no-arbitrage alone, so 'violations' on real screens almost always mean a dividend before expiry, hard-to-borrow stock, or one stale quote — each of which this gap quantifies.

References: Stoll (1969) — the relationship between put and call prices

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula behind the Put-Call Parity Calculator?+

Put-Call Parity Calculator uses C − P = S − K·e^(−rT). Parity is model-free: it follows from no-arbitrage alone, so 'violations' on real screens almost always mean a dividend before expiry, hard-to-borrow stock, or one stale quote — each of which this gap quantifies. The tool substitutes your actual inputs into this relationship and shows the worked example step by step.

What inputs does the Put-Call Parity Calculator need?+

Enter Call price, Put price, Spot price, Strike, Risk-free rate (%), Days to expiry and the result updates immediately — there is no button to press. Change any value to model a different scenario in real time.
