What It Teaches
Money skills students build
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is one of the first numbers investors look at: how much do you pay for each $1 a company earns? Students divide the stock price by the earnings per share to find it. Every row here is built so the answer comes out clean. Pair this with the P/E ratio lesson and the buying stocks generator for more practice.
- Find a P/E ratio (price ÷ earnings per share)

Common Questions
P/E Ratio Worksheet FAQ
Do I need a membership to use this generator?
Yes — the generator is a full Money Instructor membership feature (the paid plan, not a free account). Full members can make and print unlimited worksheets with answer keys. The page itself is free to read.
What does the worksheet look like?
A table with a company, a stock price, and earnings per share on each row, plus a blank P/E Ratio column for students to fill in. An optional answer key prints every ratio.
How do students find the answers?
They divide the stock price by the earnings per share: P/E ratio = stock price ÷ earnings per share.
Are the answers clean?
Yes. Every row is built so the P/E ratio is a whole number, so students get an exact answer — no ugly long division. Choose dollars-and-cents earnings for harder division that still lands on a whole number.
Are the company names real?
No — the companies, prices, and earnings are made up for practice, so the worksheet never shows real or dated stock data. The math works exactly the same way.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Keep Include answer key on and the tool fills in every P/E ratio. Set Number of worksheets up to 5 for different versions.
