To calculate implied volatility using Solver, you need an options pricing model (such as Black-Scholes) and market data (including the option price, strike price, underlying asset price, risk-free rate, time to expiration, and any dividends). Build the pricing model in a spreadsheet, input the market data, and set the initial volatility value in Solver. Set the objective to match the calculated option price with the market price by changing the volatility cell. Run Solver to find the implied volatility that minimizes the difference between the calculated and market option prices.
