Business Valuation Calculator (EBITDA Multiple)
What is my business worth?
Buyers and investors often value established businesses as a multiple of EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization).
How this calculator works
EBITDA = revenue × margin. Enterprise value = EBITDA × multiple. Equity value (what owners receive) = enterprise value − debt + cash. Implied revenue multiple = enterprise value ÷ revenue.
Frequently asked questions
What multiple should I use?
Multiples depend on industry, size, growth and risk. Small private businesses usually sell for lower multiples than large public companies. Look up recent deals in your sector.
Why subtract debt?
A buyer takes on the company’s debt, so the price paid to owners is reduced by it. Cash in the business adds to what owners receive.
