What this calculator does

Every priced funding round issues new shares to new investors, which reduces — dilutes — the percentage every existing shareholder owns, even though their share count doesn't change. This calculator models founder ownership across a sequence of rounds you define, showing the dilution at each stage and the cumulative result.

Key terms

Pre-money valuation: the company's value before the new round's capital is added. Dilution: the reduction in an existing shareholder's ownership percentage caused by new shares being issued, regardless of whether they sell any shares themselves.
