Business Calculators

Running a business means a steady stream of small calculations with money attached: margins, commissions, valuations, leave balances, freight, occupancy and the performance numbers investors ask about. This section collects them in one place.

Every calculator states the definition it uses, because business terms are slippery. Margin is not markup, occupancy depends on what you count, and a valuation is a method, not a verdict. The method is printed on each page so the figure can be explained to a partner, a lender or a buyer.

More calculators for this section are finished and published in stages, and this page grows as they go live.
