A protective put caps your downside on the VRT position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current VRT option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share VRT position at $272.54 is worth $1,362,700. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $27,254 to $54,508) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off VRT's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Vertiv equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge VRT stock?

The calculator above prices both structures off the current VRT option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Vertiv grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Vertiv typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
