Startup valuation calculator
Valuation is a negotiation, not a formula, but you still want a defensible range to anchor it. This tool estimates yours two ways: a revenue multiple for companies with traction, and a simple scorecard for pre-revenue startups. Enter your numbers and it returns a low-to-high range with the assumptions shown, so you can walk into a conversation with a number you can explain rather than a number you hope for.
A directional range to anchor a conversation, not a fixed price. Investor demand and your alternatives move valuation more than any formula.
How it works
- 1Choose a method: revenue multiple (with traction) or scorecard (pre-revenue).
- 2Enter revenue and growth, or rate your team, market and product.
- 3Get a valuation range with the multiple or comparable baseline shown.

Frequently asked questions
How are early-stage startups valued?+
Pre-revenue startups are usually valued on comparables and qualitative factors, team, market size, traction, and product, rather than financials. Revenue-stage startups are often valued on a multiple of ARR adjusted for growth rate.
What revenue multiple should I use?+
It depends heavily on growth, margins and market. Fast-growing SaaS can command high multiples while slower or lower-margin businesses command less. The tool lets you set the multiple so you can model a range rather than rely on one number.
Is a calculator enough to set my valuation?+
No. Use it to get a defensible range and understand the drivers, then let the market set the actual number. Investor demand, your alternatives, and the terms of the deal all move valuation more than any formula.
