Estimate Company Value with Multiple Methods

A Business Valuation Calculator helps you build a fast, practical estimate of what a company may be worth using widely recognized market approaches. Instead of relying on a single number, this tool lets you compare valuation based on revenue, net profit, and EBITDA, which is especially useful when different buyers or investors focus on different metrics.

Compare Revenue, Earnings, and EBITDA Multiples

For growing companies, a revenue multiple can offer a simple benchmark. For stable businesses with reliable margins, an earnings-based approach may tell a clearer story. An EBITDA multiple is often used when owners want a valuation method that better reflects operating performance before financing and non-cash expenses. This business valuation calculator brings those methods together in one place and shows only the estimates that can actually be calculated from your inputs.

The tool also adjusts enterprise value into equity value by accounting for debt and cash on hand. That makes the result more useful for owners, buyers, and advisors who want a clearer picture of what the business itself—and the ownership stake—may be worth. Like any company valuation estimate, results should be weighed alongside market conditions, growth potential, risk, and industry benchmarks.

FAQs

What valuation methods does this calculator use?

The tool uses three common market-based approaches: a revenue multiple, an earnings multiple based on net profit, and an EBITDA multiple. Each method applies a selected multiple to the financial figure you enter. If you provide data for more than one method, the calculator shows each estimate separately so you can compare them instead of forcing everything into one number.

Why does the calculator show both enterprise value and equity value?

A valuation multiple usually produces an enterprise value, which reflects the value of the business before considering how it’s financed. To estimate equity value, the calculator adjusts that figure by subtracting total debt and adding cash on hand. That gives you a more realistic view of what the owners’ stake may be worth based on the numbers entered.

Can I use this if my net profit or EBITDA is negative?

Yes. Some businesses operate at a loss, especially during early growth stages, turnarounds, or difficult market conditions. If you enter a negative net profit or EBITDA, the calculator will still compute the result and clearly show that the valuation estimate is negative. That doesn’t automatically mean the business has no value, but it does signal that a simple multiple-based approach may need added context from growth trends, assets, industry outlook, and deal structure.
