About this calculator

This calculator computes diluted earnings per share, (net income − preferred dividends) ÷ (weighted average shares outstanding + dilutive securities), and shows it side by side with basic EPS. Dilutive securities — stock options, warrants and convertible bonds — are converted into their as-if-exercised share count (typically via the treasury stock method), which is why diluted EPS is always equal to or lower than basic EPS.

Public companies are required to report both figures on their income statement under GAAP and IFRS, and investors watch the gap between basic and diluted EPS closely, since a large gap signals significant potential share dilution that could erode existing shareholders' claim on future earnings.
