In the Black-Scholes model, a digital call option and digital put option with remaining maturity τ have values
Dcall​(t,S)=e−rτΦ(d−​),Dput​(t,S)=e−rτΦ(−d−​),
(1)
where d−​ is defined in the Black-Scholes formula. For t<T, the digital-call delta hedge is
∂S​Dcall​(t,S)=Sστ​e−rτϕ(d−​)​.

Black-Scholes digital option formula
Complementary digital call and put payoffs sum to one, so their time-t values satisfy
Dcall​(t,S)+Dput​(t,S)=e−r(T−t).
