Behavioral Health Valuation Calculator

Estimate what your facility is worth from adjusted EBITDA, level of care, payer mix, accreditation, and how transferable the operation is. No email required, nothing submitted — it runs in your browser.

Estimate your facility's value

Adjust the inputs and the range updates as you go. Nothing is submitted anywhere — the calculation runs in your browser.

Earnings after normalizing owner compensation to market, related-party rent to a market lease, and one-time or personal expenses.

0 = everything runs through the owner. 100 = a management team runs it without you.

Estimated enterprise value —

An indicative range based on market reference multiples and the inputs you selected. Not an appraisal, valuation opinion, or offer. It does not account for diligence findings, licensure standing, census trends, or real estate. Owned real estate is valued separately from the operating business.

How this estimate is built

Behavioral health businesses are priced as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA, with real estate handled as a separate asset. The headline multiple gets the attention; the adjustments decide the outcome. This calculator applies a market reference range for your level of care, then adjusts for the factors buyers actually price:

What this tool does not do. It does not verify your numbers. In a real process, adjusted EBITDA is rebuilt by the buyer from your financials — owner compensation, related-party rent, one-time items, and deferred capital expenditure all get restated. A range from a calculator starts a conversation; it does not replace diligence.

For a real answer, the next step is a confidential review of your financials, payer mix, licensure, and real estate. That is what we do before any facility goes to market.

Common questions

Why is the range so wide?

Because the spread inside a level-of-care band is real. Two facilities with identical EBITDA can be worth materially different amounts depending on payer mix, census stability, licensure, accreditation, staffing, and how much of the operation depends on the owner.

Should I include my real estate in the number?

No. The operating business and the property are separate assets with separate buyers and separate valuations. If you own the building, that is a second conversation — and often the more valuable one.

Is a higher multiple always better?

No. Structure matters as much as headline price. Deferred cash, earn-outs tied to metrics you do not control, rollover equity, and seller notes all change what you actually receive. A lower number with clean terms can beat a higher one with a risky structure.

What if my EBITDA is negative or very small?

Multiples are not meaningful there. Buyers may look at revenue frameworks, real estate value, or licensed capacity instead. That is a conversation, not a calculation.
