What is a contract multiplier?
When an option holder buys a put or call, they pay a premium, and to arrive at the total cost of an options contract, the premium is typically multiplied by 100. For example, if an option is trading for $1.40, the price of one contract, excluding fees, is $140, or $1.40 x 100 (multiplier) = $140.
