Cost Per Share Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Cost Per Share (CPS):

\[ \text{CPS} = \frac{\text{TCS}}{S} \]

Where:

$\text{CPS}$ is the Cost Per Share
$\text{TCS}$ is the Total Cost of Shares
$S$ is the Number of Shares

What is Cost Per Share?

Cost per share is a term used in finance to describe the cost of one share or stock in a company. The cost per share remains constant at the time of purchase, but the value of those shares may fluctuate over time.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cost of Shares (TCS) = $1000
Number of Shares (S) = 50

Step 1: Use the Cost Per Share formula:

\[ \text{CPS} = \frac{1000}{50} = 20 \]

The Cost Per Share is $20.
