What could your company data be worth?
Start with your team and the records you’ve kept. Explore an illustrative licensing range, then find a partner to assess the actual data.
Understand the number
A starting scenario.

Team size is only a rough proxy for the records a business creates. This calculator does not inspect your files or predict buyer demand. A business with no suitable buyer or licensable records may earn nothing, even when this tool displays a positive range.
The calculation
(Desk employees + non-desk employees × contribution %) × years of retained records × assumed rate
With the example inputs: (40 + 15 × 25%) × 8 = 350 employee-years. Multiplying by the hypothetical $500 and $2,000 rates gives $175,000–$700,000. A separate 20% refresh assumption adds $35,000–$140,000 over 24 months.
Data Mining Masters chose these defaults to demonstrate the math. They are not transaction benchmarks or Mode’s formula. Industry and location update the preparation notes; they do not apply an unsupported price premium. The model assumes broadly consistent staffing across the retained period. Fees, preparation costs and taxes are excluded.
Before you request an assessment
- Inventory one archive. Record systems, formats, dates and usable volume. A headcount alone is not a data sample.
- Check what you can license. Identify third-party content, confidentiality restrictions and personal or sensitive information requiring review.
- Ask for written terms. Confirm permitted uses, exclusivity, payment triggers and whether future updates are separately paid.
