Offer check: which offer is really better?

A bigger headline is not always a better offer. Enter two offers and see the cash on the day, the expected cash, and what it is worth today.

Offer A

Cash at close ($)

Closing in (months)

Escrow ($)

Released after (months)

Likelihood (%)

Earnout ($)

Paid after (months)

Likelihood (%)

Offer B

Cash at close ($)

Closing in (months)

Escrow ($)

Released after (months)

Likelihood (%)

Earnout ($)

Paid after (months)

Likelihood (%)

Discount rate (% a year)

The discount rate is your own choice: what you could earn on money of similar risk. 4% to 6% for safe money, 10% to 15% for equity-like risk.

This is the simple version

The full tool runs each payment through your cap table, so you see what each class receives, not just the totals, and which offer is better for whom. Open the full tool or read why the headline is not the cash.
