Option Intrinsic Value

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Option Intrinsic Value. Intrinsic Value (Calls): When the underlying security's price is higher than the strike price a call option is said to be "in-the-money." Intrinsic Value (Puts): If the underlying security's price is less than the strike price, a put option is "in-the-money." Only in-the-money options have intrinsic value, representing the difference between the current price of the underlying security and the option's exercise price, or strike price.
