Business valuation calculator.

This calculator multiplies your annual earnings (SDE or EBITDA) by an industry-specific multiple range, then adjusts up or down based on growth trend, customer concentration, and owner involvement. The math is the same approach an M&A advisor uses for a directional valuation — minus the parts that require real analysis.

What it does well

• Gives you a defensible range to anchor against
• Helps you understand how growth, concentration, and owner involvement move the multiple
• Establishes whether you're roughly in the right zip code on value expectations

What it doesn't do

• Recast your reported earnings into true SDE or adjusted EBITDA (you have to do that yourself first)
• Account for contract structure, recurring revenue percentage, or pipeline visibility
• Reflect comparable transactions in your specific market
• Substitute for the work a buyer's quality of earnings analyst will do during diligence
