Lock-in-now is deterministic (0%). Plans that wait depend on future prices; risk is near-zero when inventory comfortably exceeds the goal. Volatility: each stack's option-implied vol if a ticker is set, otherwise 30%. Lognormal model; real markets have fatter tails.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange opened in 1973 as the first marketplace for listed options and still owns the proprietary index products built on that history, principally options on the S&P 500 and the VIX volatility index. Exclusive licensing on those indices means the trading cannot migrate to a competing venue, which is a materially better position than the fee competition in equities. Volatility is good for volume, so revenue rises when markets are unsettled. Market data and access fees supplement transaction revenue. Headquarters are in Chicago.

If you hold vested Cboe Global Markets (CBOE) shares and need a set amount of cash by a date (a house down payment, tuition, a sabbatical, a business buy-in), the question is which lots to sell and in which tax years to keep the most after tax. This calculator builds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your lots, accounting for federal long-term capital gains, the net investment income tax, and your state.

Example: a 5,000-share CBOE position at $290.99 is worth $1,454,950. Say you need $150,000 of it for a house down payment by next spring. Selling enough shares all in one tax year can push the gain into the higher long-term capital-gains bracket and trigger the 3.8% net investment income tax; spreading the sale across two tax years often nets more. The calculator above finds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your specific lots, basis, goal, and date.

Cboe Global Markets equity questions

How much CBOE stock do I sell to fund a goal without overpaying tax?
It depends on your cost basis, your target amount and date, and how the sale spreads across tax years. Selling vested CBOE shares triggers long-term capital-gains tax, plus the 3.8% net investment income tax and state tax above certain income, and bunching a large sale into one year can push the gain into a higher bracket. The calculator above builds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your lots to net your target amount by your date.
Does Cboe Global Markets grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Cboe Global Markets typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
