The maths behind a priced round, without a spreadsheet.
CalcVC is a private calculator for a priced venture round, bound returns, and one optional next round. Optional modules add share counts, one option pool, one SAFE, years and IRR, a fund sketch, a one-class preference, and an ownership split. Everything is calculated on your device.
CalcVC is a calculation and educational tool. It is not financial, investment, legal, tax, or professional advice, and a calculated result is not a prediction or a guarantee of any investment outcome.
Illustrative scenario
Invented figures shown to illustrate the arithmetic. Not a real company, a real financing, market data, a recommendation, or a forecast.
What it calculates
| Pre-money valuation | Required |
|---|---|
| Investment amount | One new-investor cheque |
| Currency label | Display only, default USD |
| Exit equity value | Optional |
| Post-money valuation | Always |
|---|---|
| Investor ownership % | Always |
| Existing-holder dilution % | Always |
| Exit proceeds | Only with an exit value |
| MOIC | Only with an exit value |
The model is percentage-based and deterministic. Pre-money plus investment gives post-money; the investment’s share of post-money gives ownership. An expandable Show maths panel in the app states the formula and the current result in plain language, so nothing is a black box.
- Post-money valuation
- post-money = pre-money + investment
- Investor ownership
- ownership = investment ÷ post-money
- Existing-holder dilution (aggregate pool, from 100%)
- dilution = ownership
- Exit proceeds (only when an exit value is entered)
- proceeds = ownership × exit equity value
- MOIC (only when an exit value is entered)
- MOIC = proceeds ÷ investment
A worked example
The same figures as above, carried through to the optional exit metrics.
| Pre-money valuation | $8,000,000.00 |
|---|---|
| Investment | $2,000,000.00 |
| Post-money valuation | $10,000,000.00 |
| Investor ownership | 20.00% |
| Existing-holder dilution | 20.00% |
| Exit equity value (optional) | $60,000,000.00 |
| Exit proceeds | $12,000,000.00 |
| MOIC | 6.00× |
Invented figures, shown to illustrate the arithmetic. They are not a real company, a real financing, market data, a recommendation, or a forecast. Money and percentages are displayed to two decimal places; the calculation itself keeps full precision.
Who it is for
- Founders sizing what a round costs in ownership.
- Venture capital professionals checking a number between meetings.
- Angel investors sanity-checking a cheque against an exit range.
- Startup operators reading a term sheet for the first time.
- Finance students learning where the numbers come from.
- Anyone who wants the basic maths made explicit.
In the app
CalcVC for iPhone and iPad The iOS app icon. The calculator itself is the app; this site describes it.
- Calculator first. The app opens on the calculator. No onboarding carousel, no account, no sign-in.
- Named scenarios. Create, rename, update, duplicate and delete scenarios, stored on that device.
- Currency labels. USD, EUR, GBP, INR, CHF, CAD, AUD, SGD, AED and JPY. Labels only — no exchange-rate conversion.
- Show maths. Expand any result to see the formula and how the current numbers produce it.
- Share when you choose. A native share sheet sends a scenario summary as text or a summary card — only when you tap share.
- Native and adaptive. iPhone and iPad, system light and dark, free, with no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Private by construction
CalcVC has no account system and no server behind the calculator. Your inputs are entered, calculated and stored on your device.
- No account, no registration, no sign-in.
- No Nuvvya server receives your figures.
- The core calculator works offline.
- No advertising and no third-party tracking.
- Scenarios are saved on that device only. There is no iCloud sync or backup, so scenarios will not automatically transfer to another device.
What it deliberately does not do
Optional modules each solve their own equations. Empty modules stay inactive and do not change the priced round. The boundary is still explicit.
- No multiple SAFEs.
- No multiple preferred classes.
- No fees, taxes, or foreign exchange.
- No per-person cap table or founder model.
- No web calculator — the calculator is the iOS app.
- No currency conversion. A currency choice is a label only.
- IRR, MOIC, and TVPI rearrange the numbers you entered. They are not predictions.
- Not a cap-table manager, portfolio tracker, forecasting tool, advisory service, or advice product.
