Free pharmacy valuation calculator
How much is your pharmacy worth?
Answer six questions and get an instant enterprise value range built on calibrated Canadian multiples: the same engine we use in professional engagements, tuned per province. Free, anonymous, and honest about what it can and cannot see.
Before you start
This is not a scripts-times-35 calculator
Some tools multiply your daily prescriptions by a magic number and call it a valuation. This is not that. This is the same calibrated engine we use in professional engagements, built from real Canadian pharmacy transactions and reviewed against every deal we close.
In sixty seconds, it weighs:
- ◆Your province: all 13 provinces and territories carry their own calibrated multiple ranges
- ◆Your earnings base: normalized EBITDA logic, not raw revenue, with size banding
- ◆Your lease security: one of the strongest value drivers banks and buyers price
- ◆Your community and setting: urban, suburban, rural, or long-term care and specialty
The full methodology goes further (owner compensation and add-backs, payer concentration, rebate dependence, script trends, competition, and what a bank would actually lend), which is why the free estimate is a range, and the full assessment is a number you can plan around.
The more precise your figures, the more real your range. Estimates in, estimates out. Your accountant's statements in, a range you can trust out. And your numbers never leave your device for the instant estimate: the calculation runs right here in your browser.
Free. Instant. No contact details needed for the estimate.

Estimated enterprise value range
This range could move by
Your estimate uses safe defaults for the factors the quick version cannot see:
- Owner compensation and add-backs (often adds $50,000 to $150,000 to normalized earnings)
- Payer concentration, rebate income, and script trend
- Lease terms, clinic proximity, and local competition
- What a bank would actually lend against your earnings
The full assessment recalculates your range with your real numbers and shows the lender's view: the maximum financing a bank would support and the equity a buyer would need.

How the calculator works, in plain terms
Canadian pharmacies are valued as a multiple of normalized EBITDA, plus inventory. The calculator starts from your reported earnings, applies a provincial baseline multiple (each province trades differently, and our parameters carry a calibrated range for all 13 provinces and territories), adjusts for the size of your earnings base, then applies risk factors: lease security, community type, and the operational signals the quick version estimates with defaults.
The full methodology also weighs owner compensation against a market manager salary, personal and one-time expenses, payer concentration, rebate dependence, script trends, competition, and clinic proximity, and then runs the lender math: banks typically require a 1.25x debt service coverage ratio, which caps what any buyer can borrow against your earnings, and therefore what most buyers can pay. If you are seriously weighing a sale, that second layer is where your real number lives, and it is exactly what the full assessment calculates.
If you want the deeper theory, our guides to pharmacy valuation in Canada and EBITDA normalization walk through the same methodology step by step, with worked examples. Browsing what is on the market right now also helps calibrate expectations: see the current pharmacy for sale listings.
