Compare your calculator results side by side

This is an earnings figure, not a value. It is the input every multiple is applied to, so an error here moves every other number on this page.

Read it alongside the value gap and target exit calculators, which both multiply this figure by a sector multiple.

It is a difference between two enterprise values, so it ignores cash, debt and deal structure entirely. It is a planning measure, not proceeds.

Read it with the equity value calculator to see what closing the gap would actually put in your hands.

This is the only figure on this page that approaches money in your bank account. It is still before personal tax, and it is normally well below any headline enterprise value.

Compare it with the target exit value and offer sense-check figures, which are both stated as enterprise value.

It works backwards from what you want, so it describes a requirement rather than a current valuation. Nothing here says the market will pay it.

Sense-check the implied multiple against published sector ranges, then bridge the figure through the equity value calculator.

It is a ratio, so it cannot be added to or compared with the pounds figures beside it. A strong multiple can still sit behind a weak structure.

Read it with the equity value calculator, which shows how much of that offer is certain cash after the bridge and fees.

It is a risk measure, not a value. No discount is applied to any figure here, because concentration affects the multiple, the structure and buyer appetite rather than arithmetic.

Read it with the owner dependency score, since concentration and owner reliance are usually the two risks a buyer raises first.

The future value shown is an illustrative scenario from your own growth, margin and multiple assumptions. It is not a forecast and not a valuation.

Read it with the business value gap and target exit calculators, which both depend on the multiple this contract base would support.

It is a scored self-assessment, so it cannot be added to any pounds figure and it is never converted into a valuation discount.

Read it with the customer concentration result, then with the value gap calculator when planning the 12 to 24 months before a sale.

It separates personal proceeds from company funding, which a single headline figure hides. New investment into the company is not money in your pocket.

Read it with the equity value calculator for a full sale comparison, and with the earn-out calculator if part of the price is conditional.

The weighted figure reflects the probabilities you entered. It is a planning number for your own decision making, not a guaranteed or legal entitlement.

Read it with the offer sense-check, which shows the multiple the headline implies, and with the equity value calculator for certain cash.

It is a scenario built entirely from your assumptions, so it forecasts nothing. The value gap calculator sizes a shortfall; this one shows how a scenario gets there.

Read it with the value gap calculator to test whether the growth assumed is realistic, and with the equity value calculator for proceeds.

It is a preparedness score, not a value or a price. A high score does not raise your valuation by itself, and a low score usually costs time, price or deal certainty.

Read it with the owner dependency and customer concentration calculators, which examine two of the areas it scores in more depth.

This is the only calculator driven by your personal plans rather than the company's figures. It states a requirement, not a valuation, and it is not financial advice.

Read it with the equity value calculator, which estimates pre-tax proceeds, and with a regulated financial adviser before any decision.

It applies no minority discount or control premium unless you enter one yourself, so it is a straight share of value rather than a market price for that specific holding.

Read it with the equity value calculator for the company-level figure. Divorce, probate, tax and dispute purposes need a formal valuation.

It looks at how a deal is paid for rather than what the business is worth, and it is not a lending decision or an offer of finance.

Read it with the earn-out and partial sale calculators for structure, and with the offer sense-check for the multiple the price implies.
