Free Business Valuation Calculator

A directional starting range for an owner-operated business, based on Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE). It is a starting range only, not an appraisal and not a guaranteed price.

How the starting range is figured

For an owner-operated business, buyers usually start with SDE: net income plus add-backs such as owner pay, depreciation, interest and one-time expenses. This calculator averages that figure over three years, applies a multiple that moves with the business factors you choose, and adds inventory and equipment value.

Important: the result is a directional starting range based on the numbers you enter. It is not an appraisal and not a guaranteed price. Your range appears on screen as soon as you submit, and a copy goes to the email you enter.
