Industry-Specific Practice Valuation Methodology
This site organizes practice valuation calculators by industry. Each calculator is built for a specific practice type — dental, veterinary, med spa, and seven other professional service categories — and reflects the valuation methodology, buyer landscape, and operational economics specific to that industry.
The methodology depth varies because the underlying economics vary. A dental practice transactional landscape is shaped by dental service organization acquisitions; a veterinary practice is shaped by corporate veterinary consolidator activity; a med spa is shaped by treatment-mix and membership-program economics. Each calculator captures the inputs that meaningfully shift valuation outputs in its industry rather than applying a generic question set across professions.
The calculators operate at the educational and early-research tier. The outputs produce valuation estimates substantive enough to inform decision-making before practice owners engage brokers, attorneys, or accountants for full diligence-tier valuation work — and useful as cross-check substrate even after those engagements begin.
How To Use These Valuation Calculators
Step 1 — Identify the calculator that matches your practice
Each calculator on this site is built for a specific industry. Start by identifying which calculator most closely matches your practice type, since the valuation methodology and inputs differ substantially across industries. The full list of ten covered industries appears in the section below.
Step 2 — Gather your practice's financial and operational data
Each calculator asks for specific financial and operational inputs — revenue figures, EBITDA, owner compensation, equipment value, lease terms, patient or client base, and other industry-specific data points. Having these figures organized before working through the calculator produces more useful output than estimating inputs in the moment.
Step 3 — Work through the calculator's methodology and inputs
Each industry-specific calculator page covers what the calculator does, the questions it asks, the methodology it applies, and the buyer-landscape context for that industry. The page also explains why each input matters and how each input shapes the valuation output at the methodology tier.
Step 4 — Compare outputs across methodologies and transition scenarios
Most practice valuations produce different outputs depending on the methodology applied. Comparing outputs across revenue multiples, EBITDA multiples, comparable transactions, and asset-based valuation surfaces a valuation range rather than a single point estimate, and the range itself carries more decision-useful information than any single methodology output.
Step 5 — Send specific questions through the contact page
Questions about a specific output, a particular industry, or a transition scenario can be sent through the contact page. Specific industry-anchored questions tend to produce more useful replies than general inquiries.
