Schedule of Assumptions Used | The following summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value stock options granted under the Stock Plan and the Danaher Plans during the years ended December 31:
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2015
Risk-free interest rate | 1.90% - 2.26% |  |  | 1.21% - 1.77% |  |  | 1.6% - 2.2% |
Volatility (a) | 20.9 | % |  | 24.3 | % |  | 24.3 | %
Dividend yield (b) | 0.5 | % |  | 0.6 | % |  | 0.6 | %
Expected years until exercise | 5.5 - 8.0 |  |  | 5.5 - 8.0 |  |  | 5.5 - 8.0 |
(a) Weighted average volatility post-Separation was estimated based on an average historical stock price volatility of a group of peer companies given our limited trading history. Weighted average volatility for periods prior to the Separation was based on implied volatility from traded options on Danaher’s stock and the historical volatility of Danaher’s stock.
(b) The dividend yield post-Separation is calculated by dividing our annual dividend, based on the most recent quarterly dividend rate, by Fortive’s closing stock price on the grant date. The dividend yields for periods prior to the Separation were calculated by dividing Danaher’s annual dividend, based on the most recent quarterly dividend rate, by the closing stock price on the grant date.
