    Yes, it's easy. And there's two ways to do it. The PIC account is the amount it was issued for above the par value, so all you're doing is taking the amount over par and figuring that for the number of shares issued.

    For instance, if you issue 1000 shares of $2 par stock for $10. You're issuing it at $10, so that's $10,000. But this must be separated on the books between the stock account and that excess account. The stock account has to be recorded at the $2 par amount, or $2000. That makes the excess the other $8000. That's the amount above par you issued for.

    You can also take $8 excess per share (10 - 2) x 1000. Still $8000 either way.
