This free restaurant value calculator gives you a fast, realistic estimate based on the metric buyers actually care about: your cash flow, not your sales. Enter your revenue, profit, what you pay yourself, and a few add-backs, and you&#8217;ll see your Seller&#8217;s Discretionary Earnings, an estimated business value with a low-to-high range, the multiple behind it, and a revenue cross-check. Whether you&#8217;re thinking about selling next year or just want to know where you stand, this is the number to start with. FAQ How is a restaurant&#8217;s value calculated? For most independent, owner-operated restaurants, value is based on a multiple of Seller&#8217;s Discretionary Earnings (SDE). You calculate SDE, apply a market multiple for your concept type, and that gives you an estimated value, usually expressed as a range rather than a single number. What is Seller&#8217;s Discretionary Earnings (SDE)? SDE is the total financial benefit a single owner-operator gets from the business in a year. It&#8217;s your net profit plus your own salary and benefits, plus add-backs. It exists because two owners running identical restaurants can report very different &#8220;profit&#8221; depending on how much they pay themselves, so SDE normalizes that to show real earning power. What&#8217;s a typical valuation multiple for a restaurant? Independent owner-operated restaurants generally sell for about 1.5x to 3x SDE, with stronger, cleaner operations reaching the higher end. The exact multiple depends on concept type, profitability, and risk. Larger, manager-run groups (roughly $5M+ in revenue) shift to a different basis because the buyer is purchasing a transferable business rather than a job. Why does the calculator use earnings instead of revenue? Because revenue doesn&#8217;t pay anyone. A restaurant doing $2M in sales with razor-thin margins can be worth less than one doing $900K with strong cash flow. Buyers are purchasing the money the business generates, so earnings-based methods are the standard. The calculator does show a revenue cross-check (about 0.32x to 0.48x of sales) as a sanity check, but earnings drive the number. What are &#8220;add-backs&#8221; and why do they matter? Add-backs are expenses that wouldn&#8217;t transfer to a new owner, or that aren&#8217;t part of normal operations such as your personal car lease, family members on payroll, a one-time legal bill, owner health insurance, depreciation, and interest. Adding them back reveals the real cash flow a buyer would inherit, which raises your value. Just keep them honest and documented; aggressive, unverifiable add-backs reduce buyer trust and pull your multiple down. Will this give me the exact price I can sell for? No and you should be cautious of any tool that claims to. This is a rule-of-thumb estimate to orient you, not a formal appraisal. Real-world value swings significantly on factors a calculator can&#8217;t see: your lease terms and remaining years, location quality, financial transparency, how dependent the business is on you personally, and current buyer demand.
