Professional Practice Goodwill Valuation Tool

What the current owner draws out of a practice isn't the same as what the practice is actually worth. Replace the owner with a fairly paid professional first, then value what's left.

How To Use This Calculator

Enter what the owner currently draws, what a hired replacement professional would actually cost, and any add-backs.

Normalized earnings, what's left once a fair market replacement salary is subtracted, is the real economic profit of owning the practice rather than just working in it. That number, not gross revenue, is what a practice-specific multiple should apply to.

Your Inputs

Typical illustrative multiples: dental practices around 4x normalized earnings, medical around 3x, legal around 1.5x, and accounting around 1.2x, reflecting how transferable each type of client relationship tends to be.

Multiples vary significantly by location, patient or client concentration, lease terms, and whether the owner stays on post-sale to support transition. This is a starting point for a conversation, not a substitute for a formal valuation.
