The purpose of this research is to determine the price of the Bermudan option using the binomial method, and then to compare the binomial method result of n steps with the market option price. In determining stock prices at each point, there will be two branches of the binomial method: up and down branches. These branches represent the movement of stock prices in the market. The result shows the price of Bermudan option is convergent at a certain value when the binomial procedure is enlarged. The comparison of the Bermudan option price using a binomial method to the market price shows that the price of Bermudan option is an approach to the market price in certain conditions.
