Determine the Pre-Money Valuation and Investment Amount
First, identify the pre-money valuation and the investment amount. For example, let's say the pre-money valuation is $1 million and the investment amount is $500,000.
Calculate the Post-Money Valuation
Next, calculate the post-money valuation by adding the pre-money valuation and the investment amount. Using the example, the post-money valuation would be $1,500,000 ($1,000,000 + $500,000).
Calculate the Number of New Shares
Then, calculate the number of new shares issued to the investor. This can be done by dividing the investment amount by the price per share. For example, if the price per share is $10, the number of new shares would be 50,000 ($500,000 / $10).
Calculate the Post-Money Shares
After that, calculate the post-money shares by adding the pre-money shares and the new shares. For example, if the pre-money shares are 100,000, the post-money shares would be 150,000 (100,000 + 50,000).
Calculate the Post-Money Ownership Percentage
Finally, calculate the post-money ownership percentage using the formula: (Pre-Money Shares / Post-Money Shares) * 100. Using the example, the post-money ownership percentage would be (100,000 / 150,000) * 100 = 66.67%.
Avoid Common Mistakes
When performing this calculation, make sure to avoid common mistakes such as incorrect valuation, incorrect number of shares, or incorrect calculation of post-money shares. It's also important to note that this calculation can be complex and time-consuming, and using an equity dilution calculator can be convenient for large or complex investments.

The Equity Dilution Calculator is a tool used to calculate post-money ownership percentages after issuing new shares. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of performing this calculation manually.
Understanding the Formula
The formula for calculating post-money ownership percentage is:
Post-Money Ownership Percentage = (Pre-Money Shares / Post-Money Shares) * 100
Where:
- Pre-Money Shares: The number of shares owned by the investor or founder before the new investment
- Post-Money Shares: The total number of shares outstanding after the new investment, calculated as Pre-Money Shares + New Shares
- New Shares: The number of new shares issued to the investor
