What is an Option Premium?

An option premium is the price that you pay for a put or call options contract. When you buy an option, you are getting the right to trade its underlying asset for a specified price for a set period. The price you pay for this right is called option premium.

The size of an option premium is influenced by three main factors: the price of the underlying asset, its level of volatility (or risk) and the option's time to expiry.
