What this means
- A multiple is a price tag per dollar of earnings. Every industry here has at least two named sources.
- Where you land in the band depends on growth, size and how much the company needs the owner.
- The result is a rough range, and a broker or valuation pro gives the real number.
How to read a multiple
A multiple is a price tag per dollar of earnings. Think of price per square foot on a house. A buyer who pays 3x earnings pays $3 for every $1 the company earns in a year.
Small companies are quoted on SDE and larger ones on EBITDA. The tool starts on SDE up to $2 million of earnings and on EBITDA above it, and you can switch. A dollar range uses only sources that state they cover your size. When none do, the tool shows the multiples for context and no dollars.
This page works in three steps
- Find your industry's band. It spans what each named source says, and at least two publishers stand behind it.
- Pick where you sit. Growth, size and how much the company needs its owner move you up or down inside the band.
- Multiply. Your earnings times the low and high of your narrower band is the rough range.
Where the numbers come from
Each band spans the ranges its publishers give. A publisher with several rows counts once, from its lowest low to its highest high. Public-company numbers sit apart and never move a band. They are rough figures, so treat a source's own limits as yours.

Which source covers which size
These rows state the size of company or deal they cover, so they can be used for a dollar range at that size. Earnings are the company's SDE or EBITDA. A purchase price is checked against earnings times the row's own multiple. Rows with no stated size count for SDE up to $2 million of earnings and never for EBITDA.

Left out, and why

- Roofing and pest control, inside Home services. No page we could read gave a number.
Questions people ask
What is an EBITDA multiple?
An EBITDA multiple is the price divided by EBITDA, which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. A company that sells for $3 million with $1 million of EBITDA sold at 3x.
What is the difference between SDE and EBITDA multiples?
Small, owner-run companies are quoted on SDE, which adds back the owner's pay. Larger companies are quoted on EBITDA. IBBA Market Pulse splits at $2 million of purchase price, SDE under that line and EBITDA over it. SDE multiples are usually lower, because SDE is the bigger earnings number.
What multiple do small businesses sell for?
IBBA Market Pulse for Q2 2026 shows about 2.0x SDE for deals priced under $500K, 2.8x for $500K to $1M, and 3.1x for $1M to $2M. For bigger deals, 4.0x EBITDA for deals priced $2M to $5M and 5.8x for $5M to $50M. IBBA's figures cover all industries together, and the bands are purchase prices, not earnings.
Why does the calculator sometimes show no dollar range?
A dollar range only uses sources that state they cover a company your size. Many industry pages quote private-equity deals or all deal sizes together, so they say little about a company with $1 million of earnings. When no source states your size, you get the multiples for context and the IBBA all-industry figure, with no dollars.
Why do multiples change so much by industry?
Buyers pay more for steady, repeatable earnings and less for work that depends on one person. A software company with recurring revenue and a plumbing company that runs on the owner's phone are priced very differently.
Can I use EBITDA multiples to value my business?
No. It gives a rough range from public sources. A real valuation looks at your books, contracts, customers and add-backs. A broker, CPA or valuation analyst does that work.
Where do these numbers come from?
From named public pages, each linked below the calculator with the date we read it. We use BizBuySell and BizQuest, DealStats, GF Data, IBBA, Flippa, Website Closers and other advisors. An industry only appears if two different publishers back it.
