The portion of any option premium that is directly related to the amount of time remaining between the current date and the expiry date assigned to the warrant or options contract is referred to as Time value.

One tool that is used to assess the feasibility of purchasing a given options contract is to calculate time value.

A projected time value is calculated by the investor at the time of purchase. Doing this the investor have a a good idea of what he or she may expect in the way of a return on the investment, provided that there is a stability in the applicable market conditions. From time to time, the time value can also be calculated from the current date. By this the investor take help to track the rate of return that can be expected for any remaining period of time until expiration.
It helps to determine whether to continue to hold a given option or not
The calculation of the time value can be a great way for investors in order to determine if they really want to continue to hold a given option all the way to the expiration date due to the reason that time value has to deal with the worth of the options as they relate to current circumstances. If it has been found by the investor that the options premium is not living up to expectations, then he or she may choose to not hold the option all the way to maturity. Simultaneously, it might also be indicated by the time value that the option is performing above expectations, so it would be a smart move to hang on to the option.
An indicator of how to organize investments to best advantage
It is a sound investment policy to asses the time value of options and warrants from time to time. This process of assessment can be used as one indicator of how to organize investments to best advantage. However, usually only the simple calculation of time value is not the only factor that has to be considered by the investor. There are other indicators also that may influence the decision to hang on or sell a given options contract such as upcoming political elections, anticipated shifts that will impact the entire market, and even the potential for natural disasters.
