Equity value range by method
Bar = low to high, tick = midpoint. All methods shown on the same scale.

Assumptions & method
- Revenue multiple value = Revenue × multiple; EBITDA multiple value = EBITDA × multiple. Both are enterprise values, so Equity value = Enterprise value − Net debt, where Net debt = Total debt − Cash (negative net debt is net cash and adds to equity value).
- Earnings (P/E) value = Net earnings × P/E multiple. It is already an equity value, so no net debt adjustment is made.
- Capitalised earnings value = Net earnings ÷ capitalisation rate. The lowest rate gives the highest value. It is treated as an equity value with no net debt adjustment.
- For each method the midpoint uses the average of your low and high multiples (or rates). The overall range runs from the lowest low to the highest high among the methods you tick, and the overall midpoint is the simple average of the method midpoints.
- No control premium, minority or marketability discount, growth forecast or asset-based adjustment is applied. Values assume the figures entered are sustainable and normalised.
- Equity values below zero are shown as calculated, but range bars start at zero.
These results are rough estimates, not a professional valuation, and are not financial, tax or legal advice. Actual value depends on many factors not modelled here.
How is a business valued with multiples?
Multiple-based valuation prices a business by comparing it with others: if similar companies sell for around five to eight times EBITDA, a business with a given EBITDA is indicatively worth that range. Revenue multiples are the roughest, because they ignore profitability. EBITDA multiples focus on operating earnings and need a net debt adjustment to reach equity value. P/E applies a multiple to net earnings and capitalised earnings divides earnings by a required rate of return, so both speak directly to equity value. No method is right on its own. Comparing them shows how much your assumptions matter and where an informed buyer or seller might negotiate. Always treat the output as an estimate and seek professional advice for real transactions.
