Business Valuation Calculator

Financials

Enter the financial information below to calculate your trailing 12-month EBITDA. Hover any field for help finding the number.

Income & Revenue $5,000,000 revenue · $600,000 net
Where do I find this?

QuickBooks: Reports → Profit & Loss → date range "Last 12 months" → Total Income.

Xero: Reports → Profit and Loss → "Last 12 months" → Total Revenue.

Use trailing 12 months (TTM), not last fiscal year — captures recent growth or decline.

Example: $5,000,000
Where do I find this?

Bottom of the same P&L report — line labelled Net Income or Net Earnings.

Enter the after-tax figure. The tax add-back lives in Optional adjustments below — don't double-count.

Example: $600,000 (12% margin on $5M)
Owner Compensation
Where do I find this?

W-2 form, Box 1 ("Wages, tips, other compensation"). Or your payroll provider's year-end summary.

S-corp owners: enter just your W-2 salary. Distributions are different — we don't add those back here.

Multiple working owners: enter the primary now; add the others under Optional adjustments.

Example: $200,000
Not sure what to enter?

A buyer wants to know: "What would I pay someone to run this business in your place?"

Typical ranges by revenue tier (we'll refine this once you pick your industry):

  • Under $2M revenue → $80–120K
  • $2–10M revenue → $120–180K
  • $10M+ revenue → $180–260K+

If you're already paying yourself a market wage, this should equal your W-2 above.

Example: $120,000
Rent
Where do I find this?

P&L line item: Rent expense, Occupancy, or Lease payments. Or sum 12 monthly lease payments from your lease.

Own the building? Enter $0 — we'll handle owner-occupied real estate separately under Optional adjustments.

Home-based or mobile? Enter $0 too.

Example: $120,000 ($10K/mo)
Not sure what to enter?

Use the rate a third-party tenant would pay to lease your space today.

Already paying market rent? Enter the same as Annual rent above.

Below-market lease (common with related-party landlords)? Estimate from comparable commercial listings: typical $/sqft × estimated sqft × 12.

Own the property? Estimate what you'd pay to lease it.

Example: $120,000 (matches market)
Optional Adjustments & Add-Backs Typically lifts EBITDA by $50k–$200k
Last 12 months EBITDA $0

What This Means

The level of EBITDA you’ve achieved is likely sellable in today’s market. Your EBITDA margin is within the range of many companies Kelly represents. If you can improve the consistency of EBITDA, it will be more likely to attract buyer interest. Your business has a foundation, with room to strengthen buyer confidence, which may or may not need to be addressed prior to going to market. Even if competitors do not perceive strong strategic value, your company may be attractive to individual buyers and private equity groups. With capital readily available and financing improving, the market appears well positioned for a sale. You also appear personally getting closer to being prepared for a transaction, with post‑exit goals and expectations we can talk through
