How Does the Intrinsic Value of a Put Option Differ from a Call Option?

The intrinsic value of a put option is calculated as the maximum of zero or the difference between the option's strike price and the current underlying asset price. This is the inverse of the call option calculation.

For example, if a stock is at $90 and the put strike is $100, the intrinsic value is $10. If the stock price is above the strike, the intrinsic value is zero.
