Estimate your business value.

A defensible starting range depends on your industry, normalized owner earnings, revenue, margins, transferability, and current buyer demand. This calculator first shows the separate SDE and revenue indications so you can see where the methods agree or diverge; it does not claim that one formula reveals a guaranteed sale price.

Choose the earnings measure that matches how the business operates, then enter its industry, annual revenue, and normalized earnings. Owner-operated businesses can compare public revenue and SDE references; management-run businesses can compare EBITDA references by company size and, where the source supports a conservative match, broad industry. The dimensions and buyer universes stay separate instead of being blended into one opaque number.

No for public SDE and revenue indications based on your inputs and industry. Create an account only when you want to save a private, source-linked valuation range with revenue and earnings details for return visits and updates. We ask for an email and password, but not your name, phone number, company name, or permission for a broker to contact you.

Start with the closest industry, trailing annual revenue, normalized annual earnings, and whether those earnings are SDE or EBITDA. Use SDE when one working owner’s compensation and supported benefits are included; use EBITDA when market-rate management remains in expenses. If you need help calculating SDE, use the browser-only worksheet first.

No. It is a private market reference built from reported industry sale multiples. It is not a certified appraisal, tax opinion, fairness opinion, offer, or guarantee of a future sale price.

After receiving your valuation, you can voluntarily contribute operating context such as growth, owner involvement, recurring revenue, and customer concentration. A completed contribution gives you a private action plan and checks for available protected transaction benchmarks. The profile can inform future aggregates only after quality review; individual profiles and transaction rows are never published.
