Calculate your startup's pre-money and post-money valuation instantly. This free valuation calculator helps entrepreneurs understand how investment rounds affect company valuation and equity dilution.
Pre-Money Valuation: The value of your company before receiving investment
Post-Money Valuation: The value of your company after receiving investment (Pre-Money + Investment)
Equity Dilution: The reduction in ownership percentage when new shares are issued
Startup valuation is critical for funding rounds, employee stock options, and strategic decisions. The valuation determines how much equity investors receive for their capital investment.
Pre-money valuation represents your company's worth before new investment. When investors add capital, the post-money valuation increases by the investment amount.
