All options include premiums or values over and above the option’s intrinsic value.
Premium values vary based on three factors: the market anticipation of the volatility of the underlying security;
the time remaining until the option’s expiration; and current interest rates.
(Premium value is also known as time value or extrinsic value.)
CALL PREMIUM VALUE
Call Option Price – Call Intrinsic Value = Call Premium Value*
PUT PREMIUM VALUE
Put Option Price – Put Intrinsic Value = Put Premium Value
