Scale periodic volatility by the square root of observations per year.
It makes the prices, cash flows, rates, time periods, weights, and model conventions explicit so you can inspect an entered scenario without hidden live-market assumptions.
Calculation structure
Follow the stated model and units
Annualized volatility = periodic volatility × √observations per year.
Visual explanation
See how the inputs become the result
Oldest observation→Selected window→Latest statisticOrder and lookback length both affect the resultAnnualized volatility = periodic volatility × √observations per year.
Read the estimate correctly
Use the result within its boundaries
Daily volatility of 1% with 252 observations per year annualizes to about 15.8745%.
This is a visitor-entered arithmetic scenario, not live market data, a forecast, a suitability assessment, or an investment recommendation.

Calculation method
Calculation method
Annualized volatility = periodic volatility × √observations per year.
Fixed decimal scalar arithmetic remains exact until display. Square-root and compound projections are explicitly approximate and reject non-finite results.

Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Visible input limits
Fixed decimals accept 30 digits and 12 decimal places, with absolute values capped at 1e12 per input and general rates capped at 1000%. Formula-specific shares and probability limits are validated separately.
International scope
No currency, exchange, broker, live security data, accounting standard, tax jurisdiction, contract specification, or regulatory disclosure is selected automatically.
Decision boundary
Outputs are arithmetic scenarios, not forecasts, advice, suitability assessments, trading signals, fair-value opinions, risk guarantees, or recommendations.
Calculator-specific assumptions
This is a visitor-entered arithmetic scenario, not live market data, a forecast, a suitability assessment, or an investment recommendation.
