            Learning how business valuation is calculated

            Multiples vary widely by industry and business size — use comparable transactions when available. Working through the variables one at a time — SDE — makes the result reproducible by hand and easier to sanity-check.

            Using business valuation to make a decision

            Because outputs depend on the assumptions you enter, run more than one scenario before committing to a figure.

            How business valuation compares with related measures

            contribution margin, fixed cost, variable cost, runway all describe adjacent aspects of business & accounting. Comparing this calculator's output against those measures — using the related tools listed on this page — prevents a single metric from being read in isolation.
