Ask HN: Someone wants to buy my site How much is it worth?

1 pointadzeds2 comments

So, this opens up the question of how do you value a website?

If someone wants to buy my site, how do I work out a reasonable selling price? Is there an easy formula to follow?

Interested to hear peoples thoughts?

2 to 4 times profit. Add back into the profit in whatever you take out in owners wages. It is that simple.

2 to 4 times the profit is a fairly large bracket though?

Lets say my site generates around £90k profit a year. But that is growing year on your, do you not need to take into account future growth?
