An electric power steering apparatus that calculates a current command value based on at least a steering torque and assist-controls a steering system by driving a motor based on the current command value, the apparatus having a function to detect a steering angle on a steering and includes a gain section having a gain characteristic that a gain changes corresponding to the steering angle, such that a new current command value is generated by multiplying the current command value with the gain outputted from the gain section corresponding to the steering angle, and the gain characteristic is a constant value “1.0” till a steering angle θ1 short of a rack end, gradually decreases till a steering angle θ2 (>θ1) exceeding the rack end and holds a constant value G (>0) in a region that the steering angle is equal to or more than the steering angle θ2.
