Using the estimate

What this tool can tell you

The dental practice valuation calculator averages three years of entered collections and applies the low and high collection multiples selected by the user. The output is an illustrative range for early scenario planning, not an appraisal, offer price, fairness opinion, or estimate of transaction proceeds.

Step-by-step guide

Use the range as a starting scenario

Step 1

Enter comparable collection periods

Use three complete periods prepared on a consistent basis. Identify unusual closures, acquisitions, provider changes, or one-time events instead of assuming the average normalizes them.

Step 2

Choose multiples deliberately

The calculator does not supply or endorse a market multiple. Entering 65% and 75% applies 0.65 and 0.75 to average collections and orders the resulting low and high values.

Step 3

Prepare for a fuller valuation

A qualified dental practice appraiser, accountant, attorney, or transaction advisor may review earnings, assets, liabilities, contracts, workforce, records, and deal terms before a decision.

Common questions

Questions about this tool

Is a collections multiple the value of a dental practice?
No. It is one simplified valuation approach. A complete appraisal may use normalized earnings, market transactions, assets, risks, growth, and other practice-specific evidence.
Why does the calculator use three years of collections?
A three-year average reduces the influence of one period, but it does not explain the trend or normalize unusual events. Review all three figures and current performance separately.
Does the valuation range equal what a seller receives?
No. Financing, debt payoff, taxes, transaction expenses, retained assets, working capital, allocation, and closing adjustments can change proceeds. Deal structure requires professional review.
