How Does Volatility Impact the Premium Received When Selling a Call Option?

Higher implied volatility (IV) significantly increases the premium of a call option. IV reflects the market's expectation of future price swings.

Since a higher volatility means a greater chance the option will expire in-the-money, option sellers demand a larger premium to compensate for this increased risk. Lower volatility reduces the premium.
