This is a tool that calculates the future price of an asset in a futures contract.

Note: The tool does not account for extra convexity in the price which arises from uncertainty in interest rates.

For this calculation, it is necessary to supply the following information:

• The spot price of the asset.
• The term in years of the futures contract, i.e. when the future price needs to be paid.
• The annualised, continuously compounded, risk-free interest rate. This is usually expressed in percentage terms (unless the formatting is explicitly set to express it as a decimal).
• The annualised, continuously compounded, dividend yield. This is usually expressed in percentage terms (unless the formatting is explicitly set to express it as a decimal).
