The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards with the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate of a U.S. Treasury security with a similar term as the expected life of the stock option at the particular grant date. The expected life is based on historical data, vesting terms and estimated exercise dates. The expected dividend yield is based on the most recent quarterly dividend on an annualized basis in effect at the time that the options were granted, adjusted, if appropriate, for management's expectations regarding future dividends. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. There were 69,150 options granted during the year ended September 30, 2020 with an aggregate grant date fair value of $187,000. There were 81,000 options granted during the year ended September 30, 2021 with an aggregate grant date fair value of $502,000. There were 74,000 options granted during the year ended September 30, 2022 with an aggregate grant date fair value of $508,000. The weighted average assumptions for options granted during the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Expected volatility | 33 | % |  | 35 | % |  | 33 | %
Expected life (in years) | 5 |  | 5 |  | 5
Expected dividend yield | 3.61 | % |  | 3.39 | % |  | 5.36 | %
Risk free interest rate | 4.17 | % |  | 1.02 | % |  | 0.28 | %
