Business Valuation Calculators

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.
