EPS is calculated as follows:

EPS= (net income - preferred dividends) / average outstanding common shares

As an example, suppose the fiscal year 2017 net income for Bank of America (BAC). Its net income was $18.232 billion. Its preferred stock dividends were $1.614 billion. Its average outstanding common shares stood at 10.196 billion.1 This puts its EPS at:

Earnings =18.232 billion−1.614 billion

 

               =16.618 billion (net profit)

EPS = 16.618 Billion / 10.196 Billion = $1.63
