Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pre-money and post-money valuation?
Pre-money valuation is what your startup is worth before an investor puts money in. Post-money valuation is pre-money valuation plus the new investment amount – it’s the total value of the company immediately after the round closes.
How do I calculate how much equity to give an investor?
Divide the investment amount by the post-money valuation and multiply by 100. For example, a $50,000 investment into a $250,000 post-money valuation equals 20% ownership for the investor.
Which startup valuation method should I use?
For early-stage startups with little or no revenue, the pre-money/post-money method (used by this calculator) is the most common, since other methods like discounted cash flow rely on financial history most startups don’t have yet.
Is this calculator accurate for any currency?
Yes. The math is currency-independent – enter your investment amount, pre-money valuation, and pre-money shares in whichever currency you’re working with (USD, INR, etc.) and the results will be in that same currency.
