How Does the Premium Relate to the Option Type?

The premium is the price paid by the buyer to the seller for the option contract. It is determined by factors like the underlying asset's price, strike price, time to expiration, and volatility.

Generally, options that are In-The-Money (ITM) or have a longer time to expiration will command a higher premium, regardless of whether they are a call or a put.
