Option Contract Multiplier
Option contracts are standardized to control a certain number of shares. Options use contract multipliers and are priced on a per share basis.
Option contract multipliers are used for standardization in the market. Equity call and put options have a multiplier of 100. So, each option contract controls 100 shares of a stock or ETF.
Options contracts are priced on a per-share basis.
For example, an AAPL call (or put) option with a $2.50 premium has an actual value of $250 per contract.
