P/E Ratio Calculator formula

P/E ratio = Market price per share ÷ Earnings per share.

The price-to-earnings ratio divides market price per share by earnings per share. Both values must cover a compatible share basis and earnings period.

How to interpret the result

P/E is a valuation comparison, not a standalone buy signal. Differences in growth, accounting, cyclicality and risk can justify different ratios.

Worked example

A share price of 100 and EPS of 5 produce a P/E ratio of 20.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter values from the same transaction or scenario.
  2. Confirm that quantities, dates, rates and currency match the labels.
  3. Review the result and change one assumption at a time when comparing scenarios.

Common mistakes

  • Mixing trailing price with unrelated forecast EPS.
  • Using P/E when earnings are negative or not meaningful.
  • Comparing companies with very different business economics.

Limitations

The ratio does not capture debt, cash flow quality, growth durability or one-off accounting effects.
