How the calculator works

1
What buyers pay in your industry
The starting point is the middle half of the multiples at which listed comparable companies in your industry are valued. 15 industries, our own calculation, as of October 2026.
2
Adjustment to your company
Your revenue growth compared with the industry raises or lowers the multiple. Listed companies are usually valued higher than private mid-sized companies. We therefore apply a discount for private mid-sized companies of 0 to 30%, depending on revenue.
3
Equity bridge
Bank debt is deducted from the enterprise value and cash is added. The equity bridge is based on the practice note of the Valuation working group of the Bundesverband Mergers & Acquisitions (BMA). Mathias Westerbarkei contributed to it as a member of the working group.
