Premium
Price which an option buyer pays to the option seller (writer) for an options contract. In return, the buyer is entitled to buy the underlying security at the exercise price.
The option premium reflects the intrinsic value and the time value of the option. Option pricing models such as the Black-Scholes model are typically used to calculate a fair option premium.
The option premium is also referred to as premium income.
