Machine Value Calculator
A machine’s value on this page is a depreciation estimate, not an appraisal.
Putting a price on a business is part arithmetic and part judgment, and the tools here handle the arithmetic side. Company and small business valuations, earnings multiples and appraisal methods sit alongside values for websites, apps, domains and other specific assets.
The starting point for most readers is a straight valuation: company valuation, small business value, firm value and business sale, with the market approach and the capitalization of earnings method as the two named methods in the section. Earnings tools — earnings multiple, modified owner earnings and valuation percentage — help turn a profit figure into a price range, while exit value and valuation cap cover the terms that come up in a sale or a funding round.
Ownership is the other half of the section. Founder equity, advisor equity, gust equity, dynamic equity split and equity percentage tools deal with who owns what, and partnership valuation and acquisition premium cover the moments when ownership changes hands.
What makes the section useful is its range of specific assets: website, app and domain values for online businesses, and salon, laundromat, self-storage, machine, timber, patent and brand values for businesses where the asset itself is the story. A reader valuing a niche business is more likely to find a fitting tool here than in a general business section.

Exit value is the price a business could fetch at sale, the number that anchors every acquisition negotiation and venture return model.
Buying or selling a laundromat starts with one argument: what the store is actually worth.
Modified owner earnings estimates the cash a business truly generates for its owners: start from net income, add back non-cash charges, then subtract capital expenditures and the increase in working capital.
An advisor grant sounds abstract until you price it: 0.50% of a $10,000,000 company is $50,000 of equity, and how much of that the advisor actually owns today depends on the vesting schedule and cliff.
When a buyer takes over a public company, it almost never pays the market price.
A founder equity calculator turns the most awkward conversation in a startup into a structured decision: who gets what percent, and why.
An equity amount in dollars only becomes meaningful when you set it against the value of the whole company.
The earnings multiple, usually called the price-to-earnings ratio or P/E, answers a plain question: how many dollars are investors paying for each dollar of earnings?
Two founders rarely put in the same mix of money and work, so a flat 50/50 split often feels wrong within a year.
