Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Jackson Financial common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Jackson Financial common shareholders, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, plus shares representing the dilutive effect of share-based awards. The Company grants share-based awards subject to vesting provisions of its 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which can have a dilutive effect. See Note 18 - Share-Based Compensation of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report for further description of our share-based awards.

The following table sets forth the calculation of earnings per common share:
