It is V ref/2n, where n is the number of bits in the converter.

The resolution of a DAC is given by the number of bits, N. The resolution is the smallest increment of output that the DAC can produce. An 8-bit, DAC has a resolution of 8 bits, or one part in 28. This results in a percentage of 0.39%.
