What is a company valuation calculator?
A company valuation calculator estimates the value of an established, operating business by applying market multiples to its earnings and revenue. It is aimed at profitable companies with a track record — for early-stage businesses, the startup valuation calculator is a better fit.
The output is an estimate, not an appraisal. It gives you a credible range and shows how growth, recurring revenue and owner dependency change the number.
How does it work?
- Estimate EBITDA and SDE from your inputs (or use the figures you provide).
- Apply industry low/mid/high multiples to revenue, EBITDA and SDE.
- Blend the three approaches, weighting earnings most heavily.
- Adjust for growth and risk, then add cash and subtract debt for equity value.
How is the result calculated?
- Revenue valuation = Revenue × industry revenue multiple
- EBITDA valuation = EBITDA × industry EBITDA multiple
- SDE valuation = SDE × industry SDE multiple
- Adjusted value = blended value × growth × risk + cash − debt
Example
A manufacturer with $2,000,000 revenue and $300,000 EBITDA, growing 10% with low customer concentration and a capable management team, would blend its revenue, EBITDA and SDE valuations and receive a modest premium for stability, producing a valuation range you can take into a sale conversation.
Who should use it?
- Owners considering a sale or succession.
- Buyers screening acquisition targets.
- Advisors preparing a first-cut valuation.

Frequently asked questions
How is an established company valued?
Established companies are usually valued on a multiple of earnings — most often EBITDA, with revenue and SDE as cross-checks. This calculator applies industry multiples to each, blends them, and adjusts for growth, recurring revenue, customer concentration, owner dependency and team size.
What is a typical EBITDA multiple?
It varies by industry and size, commonly from about 3x for small service businesses to double digits for high-margin, high-growth sectors. The calculator uses industry-specific ranges rather than a single figure.
How does owner dependency affect value?
A company that runs without its owner is less risky to a buyer and transfers more easily, so it earns a higher multiple. Heavy owner dependency is discounted because the value may walk out the door with the founder.
Is this a formal business appraisal?
No. It is an estimate to help you understand value drivers. A formal appraisal reviews full financials, assets, contracts and comparable transactions and can differ materially from this estimate.
