About this tool
What the Dental Practice Valuation Calculator does
Dental practices are commonly valued as a percentage of annual collections and checked against a multiple of adjusted EBITDA (cash flow after paying a market salary for the dentist work). Buyers then test whether the remaining cash flow comfortably covers the acquisition loan.
It also works as a dental practice acquisition valuation calculator.
Formula
- Collections value = collections × percentage
- EBITDA value = adjusted EBITDA × multiple
- Coverage = adjusted EBITDA ÷ annual loan payments
Worked example
Using the starting values in the calculator above:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Annual collections | $1,200,000 |
| Value as % of collections | 70% |
| Adjusted EBITDA (after market-rate dentist pay) | $260,000 |
| EBITDA multiple | 4.5 |
| Acquisition loan rate | 8% |
| Loan term | 10 |
| Share of price financed | 100% |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Estimated value (average) | $1,005,000 |
| Cash flow ÷ loan payments | 1.78x |
| Collections method | $840,000 |
| EBITDA method | $1,170,000 |
| Annual loan payments | $146,321 |
How to read the result
Adjust EBITDA for the owner’s personal expenses and pay the dentist work at market rate, or the valuation will be distorted.
Patient count, payer mix, equipment age and lease terms move value as much as the formula.
An estimate for discussion, not a formal valuation.
