About the Business Valuation Calculator

This calculator estimates an indicative enterprise value and equity value range for a business using an EBITDA multiple approach. It is meant for early planning conversations, not formal valuation.

How it works

You enter normalized EBITDA, a low, base, and high valuation multiple, and any debt and excess cash. The tool multiplies EBITDA by each multiple to produce an enterprise value range, then adjusts for debt and cash to show an indicative equity value for the low, base, and high scenarios. Actual transaction value depends on market conditions, quality of earnings, growth, risk, deal terms, and professional valuation judgment.

Who it is for

Founders and owners exploring an eventual exit who want a rough value range to frame planning and advisor discussions before commissioning a formal valuation.
