Is there a free online service that will give me the Implied Volatility of a stock or ETF based on the current option price? Or do I need to calculate myself in excel? I found this resource on IV

but this list is pre screened based on certain parameters...i.e you cannot put in the name of any stock and get back the implied volatility.

My broker (thinkorswim) offers this from the platform's trade tab. I believe this feature isn't crippled in the PaperMoney version which is effectively a "free online service."

remember that IV is literally the volatility that would be present to equate to the latest price of a particular option contract, assuming the Black-Scholes-Merton model.

Yahoo's free finance service lists the IV for all the options that it tracks.
