SDE Calculator

Turn the result into a better conversation.

The estimate can help the owner ask sharper questions of advisors, managers, or The Practice during a Checkup.

How to read this

SDE depends on proof

Add-backs should be explainable and supportable. The cleaner the records, the more useful this number becomes.

Calculator questions

Should I treat this as advice?

No. This is an estimate for planning conversation only. Tax, legal, valuation, accounting, and asset-protection questions need qualified professionals.

How accurate is the result?

Accuracy depends on the inputs. The value is in seeing the possible size of the issue before spending time on a full review.

Why ask for simple numbers?

Owners usually know enough to estimate a range. A Checkup verifies the real numbers later.
