What might your business be worth?

Your yearly profit before interest, taxes, and depreciation. Start with the bottom line on last year's P&L and add those three lines back in.

How much more you pay yourself than you would pay someone else to do your job. If you take 120,000 and the role hires at 80,000, enter 40,000.

How fast you expect sales and profit to grow each year. Look at your own last three years of revenue rather than a number you hope to hit.

How many future years of earnings to include. Five is the default here; use fewer if your revenue rests on contracts that end sooner.
