EPS Calculator formula
Basic earnings per share allocates profit available to ordinary shareholders across the weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period.
How to interpret the result
EPS can support comparisons across periods, but it should be read with the company accounts because buybacks, dilution and exceptional items can change it.
Worked example
Net income of one million across 500,000 shares gives EPS of 2 when there are no preferred dividends.
How to use this calculator
