What the Forward Price Calculator is for

Estimate theoretical forward price from continuous financing and income yields.

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

Visual explanation

See how the inputs become the result

Read the estimate correctly

Use the result within its boundaries

Spot 100, financing 5%, income yield 2%, one year produce approximately 103.05.

Storage, convenience yield, credit, collateral, taxes, and transaction costs are excluded unless represented by the entered net income yield.

Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the contract, market, expiry, rate, and position assumptions named by the fields.
  2. Keep premiums, prices, multipliers, contract counts, and time conventions consistent.
  3. Read the exact expiry-payoff or model assumptions before interpreting the result.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Forward=spot×e^[(financing rate−income yield)×time].

Expiry-payoff arithmetic uses the entered terminal underlying price. Model-derived values are explicitly estimates and reject unsupported domains.

Worked example

Worked example

Spot 100, financing 5%, income yield 2%, one year produce approximately 103.05.

Forward=spot×e^[(financing rate−income yield)×time].

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Visible input limits

Fixed decimals accept up to 30 digits and 12 decimal places with absolute values capped at 1e12. General rates are bounded from −100% through 1000% where signed rates are meaningful.

No contract or market feed

No exchange specification, live quote, exercise style, dividend schedule, settlement rule, margin model, or contract multiplier is selected automatically.

Decision boundary

Outputs are entered scenarios, not quotes, forecasts, arbitrage findings, risk limits, suitability judgments, or recommendations.

Calculator-specific assumptions

Storage, convenience yield, credit, collateral, taxes, and transaction costs are excluded unless represented by the entered net income yield.
