Business Valuation Calculator

Earnings times a cited industry band: the honest version of a back-of-envelope valuation, with the source shown.

Cited Band

1.0x to 1.2x revenue / 2.5x to 3.3x SDE

Source: CPA practice valuation guides (2025 to 2026)

Implied Range

$1,000,000 to $1,320,000

A sanity check against asking prices, not a valuation

Where a business lands inside the band depends on the drivers covered in the full Accounting & Tax Practices guide. Industries priced on mixed bases are excluded here; see the Industry Multiple Benchmarks for every cited band.

Real pricing depends on diligence-verified earnings and deal terms; stage 6 of the Roadmap covers the full method. Compute the earnings input with the SDE Calculator.

Everything here is educational information, not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Figures are estimates or cited third-party data; verify anything that matters against primary sources and your own advisors before acting on it.
