Q: What is my company worth?

Most private companies are valued as a multiple of revenue or profit, adjusted for growth rate, gross margin, retention and category. Software businesses trade on revenue multiples; services and e-commerce trade closer to profit multiples. This free calculator returns a range and shows the multiple used.

A defensible range, the multiple behind it, and the two levers that move it most. Not an appraisal — the number a buyer would open with. Nothing is stored or sent.

Likely range

$4.7M – $8.2M

5.3× revenue ($1.2M) · midpoint $6.3M

Ranges are wide on purpose. A real offer moves on things no calculator sees: who else is bidding, how replaceable you are, and how badly the buyer wants the category.

The two levers that move it most

1
Gross margin
Buyers discount low-margin revenue hard. Ten points of margin is often worth more than ten points of growth.
2
Retention
Churn is the quiet valuation killer. Fixing retention raises the multiple and the revenue at the same time.
