About Earnings Per Share Calculator Online
This tool calculates earnings per share (EPS) — a company's net profit divided by its outstanding common shares. Enter net income and shares outstanding, and it returns the EPS figure used universally to compare profitability across companies of different sizes.
EPS is one of the most-cited financial metrics. Analysts use it to value stocks, estimate fair price (combined with the P/E ratio), and judge whether quarterly earnings beat or missed expectations. A growing EPS over multiple quarters often signals strong fundamentals.
Note that EPS comes in several variants: basic EPS uses only common shares, while diluted EPS includes potential share dilution from convertibles, options, and warrants. This calculator gives the basic figure; subtract dilutive securities from net income or add them to share count for diluted EPS.
How to use this tool
How to compute earnings per share (EPS)
Enter net income
"Net income" is the period's bottom-line profit attributable to common shareholders (i.e. after preferred dividends). Use the same period — quarterly or annual — that matches the share count you'll enter.
Shares outstanding
"Shares outstanding" is the weighted-average diluted share count for the period (for diluted EPS) or basic shares (for basic EPS). Zero shares throws "Shares cannot be 0."
Press Run
Result is eps = netIncome / sharesOutstanding, rounded to 4 decimals. EPS is in the same currency as netIncome — match the share count's unit (millions vs. raw count) to your reported figure.
Use with price-to-earnings
EPS pairs with share price for the P/E multiple. Feed the eps output here into price-to-earnings-calculator alongside a current share price for the multiple.
