Questions, answered.
Is Startup valuation calculator free?
Yes. Startup valuation calculator is free to use with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
How do I calculate my startup’s valuation in India?
Early-stage valuations are negotiated, not calculated exactly. Investors cross-check a few methods: a revenue multiple if you have revenue, the Scorecard or Berkus method before revenue, and the VC method that works back from a likely exit. This calculator runs all four and blends them into a range you can defend.
Which valuation method is best for a pre-revenue startup?
Scorecard and Berkus are designed for pre-revenue startups. Scorecard compares you with the average funded startup in your region; Berkus adds value for each risk you have reduced (idea, prototype, team, partnerships, first sales).
Is this a valuation report I can use to issue shares?
No. It is an educational estimate. When a private company allots shares, Indian rules generally require a valuation report from a registered valuer, and for foreign investors a fair-value certificate from a chartered accountant, SEBI-registered merchant banker or practising cost accountant. Ask your CS or CA which report your round needs.
Are the sector revenue multiples real market data?
No. They are illustrative ranges for Indian early-stage startups, meant for learning and for a first conversation. Real multiples move a lot with growth, margins, the funding climate and the investor. Edit them to match comparables you trust.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything you enter is processed in your browser and is not sent to a server.
Does it work on mobile phones?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and Linux. Large files are faster on a computer.
What are the limitations?

- Valuation reports when a private company allots sharesVerified 14 Oct 2026
In general, an unlisted company issuing shares on a preferential basis prices them using a registered valuer’s report under the Companies Act. If the investor is a non-resident, FEMA pricing rules also apply, and fair value is usually certified by a chartered accountant, a SEBI-registered merchant banker or a practising cost accountant. Tax rules may need their own valuation. Exact requirements depend on the instrument and the facts; confirm with your CS or CA.
