Startup & Business Calculators
Free calculators built for Indian founders and SMEs — figure out your runway, model equity dilution, estimate tax savings and setup costs, then find the grants that fit.
Funding & equity
Work out how many months of cash you have left at your current burn — and when you need to start your next raise. Net burn accounts for any monthly revenue.
See whether your funding round triggers Section 56(2)(viib) angel tax — the premium between issue price and FMV, the estimated tax, and whether DPIIT registration exempts you.
A back-of-the-envelope valuation based on your revenue, growth rate, sector and stage. Revenue-multiple approach with sector-specific ranges — a starting point for fundraising.
Model how a SAFE note converts at your next priced round. Compare the valuation cap and discount scenarios side by side — and see what the founder dilution looks like.
See how each funding round and ESOP top-up dilutes founder ownership. Add as many rounds as you like — investor and ESOP percentages are taken on the post-money company.
Model how a convertible note converts — principal plus accrued interest, the valuation cap and discount rate, and the resulting ownership for the note holder at your next round.
Tax & exemptions
DPIIT-recognised startups can claim a 100% profit deduction for any 3 consecutive years out of their first 10. Estimate how much income tax that saves you.
Estimate your income tax under any corporate regime — 22% (Sec 115BAA), 25% (turnover ≤ ₹400 Cr) or 30% standard. Full breakdown including surcharge and health & education cess.
Compare your tax under the regular GST scheme vs the composition scheme. Enter your turnover, GST rate and input credits to see which regime saves you more — and why.
Work out how much input GST you can actually claim. Account for exempt supplies, personal use, composition purchases and blocked credit to see your eligible ITC.
Check whether MAT applies to your company, how much MAT credit you generate, and whether the startup MAT holiday or 115BAA exemption applies to you.
See the combined tax savings from DPIIT recognition — angel tax exemption on your funding round plus the Section 80-IAC three-year tax holiday on your profits.
ESOPs are taxed twice — once at exercise (perquisite, at slab rate) and again at sale (capital gains). See both, plus your net proceeds, for listed or unlisted shares.
Operations
Estimate what it costs to incorporate in India — with the actual stamp duty for your state and authorised capital, plus digital signatures and professional fees. Government fee is nil up to ₹15 lakh capital.
Calculate professional tax per employee by state — Karnataka ₹200/mo, Maharashtra ₹0–₹300, Tamil Nadu ₹0–₹208 and more. Includes annual caps and total liability.
Know your numbers: gross margin, contribution margin, LTV, CAC, LTV:CAC ratio, payback period, and the customer base needed to break even. Investor-ready unit economics in seconds.
Payroll
See the true cost of your team — CTC plus employer statutory contributions. Factor in PF (13% of basic), ESI, gratuity provision and bonus to understand your real payroll burden.
Compare the total cost of hiring as an employee (salary + PF + ESI + gratuity + bonus) vs a freelancer (invoice + TDS). See the statutory burden and non-financial trade-offs.
Calculate gratuity payable — (Basic + DA) × 15/26 × years of service — with the ₹20 lakh statutory cap and tax-exempt amount under Section 10(10).
Compliance
Estimate the penalty for delayed GST filing — ₹50/day late fee plus 18% p.a. interest on the tax amount. Enter your liability and days late for the full breakdown.
Estimate penalties for late TDS deposit — ₹200/day late fee plus 1.5% monthly interest. Includes TDS return filing consequences.
Calculate the MCA late fee for delayed annual filing — AOC-4 (financial statements) and MGT-7 (annual return). Small companies and OPCs get 50% reduction.
Pre-flight check for DPIIT recognition. See if your startup meets all five criteria — entity type, age, turnover, innovation, and not formed by splitting an existing business.
See if your startup qualifies for SISFS — up to ₹20 lakh grant plus ₹50 lakh convertible debt. Checks DPIIT recognition, incorporation age, prior government support, and tech component against the published criteria.
