Investment maths is about comparing money at different points in time on a fair basis. Compound rates, discounting and annualised returns let you compare options of different sizes and durations. Use the worked example below to check the maths against your own figures.
How the Enterprise Value Calculator works
Enterprise value is the price of the whole business regardless of how it is financed, which is why acquirers and EV/EBITDA multiples use it rather than market cap.
Worked example
With the example values (market capitalisation (or equity value) of $5,000,000, total debt of $1,200,000, cash and equivalents of $400,000, preferred equity and minority interests of $0), the enterprise value is $5,800,000.00; net debt $800,000.00, enterprise value to equity value 1.16x. Change any figure above and the result updates immediately; use Copy results to paste the summary into a note or email.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is enterprise value calculated?
enterprise value = equity value + debt + preferred and minority interests − cash.
Which figures do I need?
Market capitalisation (or equity value), total debt, cash and equivalents, preferred equity and minority interests. Take them from the same period and the same set of accounts or reports so the ratio is consistent, and check the example values as a guide to the units expected.
Does the calculator account for taxes and fees?
Only where there is an input for them. For a true net return, add fees and taxes to your inputs or use the stock and crypto profit calculators, which include them.
