   A premium is a specified amount of money paid periodically for something of value, such as a contract, service, or product. It's commonly used in context of insurance where it refers to the amount paid by the insured individual to the insurance company for coverage against certain risks. Similarly, in finance, it is the amount paid over and above the face value or market price of stocks, bonds, or securities. In the broader sense, it can also refer to an additional charge or fee for higher quality or superior service.
