The number of shares outstanding is listed on a company's balance sheet as "Capital Stock" and is reported on the company's quarterly filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The number of shares outstanding can also be found in the capital section of a company's annual report.
Let's look again at our Company XYZ. We know from the previous example that the company has 1,000 authorized shares. If it offered 300 shares in an IPO, gave 150 to the executives, and retained 550 in the treasury, the number of shares outstanding would be 450 shares or 300 float shares + 150 restricted shares.

Because issued shares refers to the total number of shares a company has created, and treasury shares refers to shares that have been issued but bought back, subtracting these two numbers results in the number of outstanding shares. Generally, both of these figures can be found on a company's balance sheet.
Following are the formulas you can use to calculate the shares outstanding of a firm: Shares outstanding = Floating stock + Restricted shares. Shares outstanding = Shares issued - Shares repurchased. Shares outstanding = Authorised shares - Treasury stock.
The formula for calculating the shares outstanding consists of subtracting the shares repurchased from the total shares issued to date.
To find the total number of outstanding shares, follow these steps: Go to the balance sheet of the company in question and look in the shareholders' equity section, which is near the bottom of the report. Look in the line item for preferred stock. Look in the line item for common stock.
