Earnings Per Share ("EPS") [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

NOTE 2 — EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

The Company reports a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives (as further discussed in Note 4 – Stock-Based Compensation) using the if-converted and treasury stock methods, where applicable. The composition of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

Net income per common share attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation—basic................................................	$51,692	41,154	$1.26	$48,701	46,673	$1.04

Net income per common share attributable to shareholders of Tech Data Corporation—diluted.......................................................................	$51,692	41,599	$1.24	$48,701	47,389	$1.03

At April 30, 2012, there were no equity-based compensation awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as there were no equity-based awards outstanding where the exercise price was greater than the average market price, thereby resulting in an antidilutive effect.At April 30, 2011, there were 3,500 equity-based compensation awards, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price, thereby resulting in an antidilutive effect.

The Company’s $350.0 million convertible senior debentures issued in December 2006 were repaid during December 2011.The $350.0 million convertible senior debentures did not impact earnings per share at April 30, 2011, as the conditions for the contingent conversion feature had not been met.
