Earnout Calculator

Estimate business sale earnout payouts from revenue, EBITDA, or another performance metric, then compare nominal, probability-weighted, discounted, and after-tax seller proceeds.

Use earnout terms to compare headline price with expected value

An earnout can make a business sale price look higher while pushing risk into future performance, buyer reporting, timing, taxes, and dispute terms. Use this estimate with the business sale proceeds calculator, seller financing calculator, business valuation calculator, and business acquisition loan calculator.

This calculator is an estimate for planning and comparison only. It does not replace legal advice, tax advice, purchase agreement drafting, accounting policy review, earnout dispute review, audit rights, working capital terms, or buyer due diligence.
