Implied probability calculator: price to probability uses the formulas shown above and assesses no personal financial circumstances.

From a binary contract price to a percentage

This event-probability calculator divides the supplied price by the full settlement value. The result is a price-derived percentage for one specified outcome. It is a description of the price under that settlement convention, rather than an independent prediction of the event.

Hypothetical example: a price of 0.42 and full settlement value of 1 convert to 42%. With the same price and a settlement value of 10, the percentage is 4.2%. A number copied without its settlement unit therefore has a different meaning. Check the currency and whether the input is a bid, ask, last transaction or midpoint before making the conversion.

The calculation does not include transaction fees, quantity or the probability you personally assign to the question. Use the expected-value calculator for an explicit cost scenario. For multiple outcomes, first establish whether they are mutually exclusive; overlapping thresholds cannot be added as if exactly one must occur.

Important information

In the United States, certain event contracts are offered through Designated Contract Markets (DCMs) subject to oversight by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Regulatory arrangements and product availability differ between platforms and jurisdictions. CFTC oversight does not constitute approval or endorsement of any particular contract. Event contracts are derivatives products, not sports betting or gambling products, and are not licensed by any state gaming or gambling regulator.

Trading event contracts involves substantial risk of loss. You may lose some or all of the funds you use to trade. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
