How Does the Strike Price Affect the Option Premium?

The strike price significantly affects the option premium. Options that are already 'in the money' (ITM) relative to the current market price will have a higher intrinsic value and thus a higher premium.

Options that are 'out of the money' (OTM) have a lower premium because they have no intrinsic value and a lower probability of becoming profitable.
