Option Premium Components

The option premium (price) has two parts:

Intrinsic Value: The actual value if exercised now (difference between stock price and strike price).

Time Value: The extra amount traders pay for the potential of future movement before expiry.

As expiry approaches, time value decreases, a phenomenon known as time decay (Theta).
