VC Carry Calculator

Understanding carried interest is critical for anyone working in venture capital or private equity. This VC carry calculator helps you estimate your share of carry based on key fund economics — including fund size, return multiple, carry percentage, and your personal allocation. Whether you’re negotiating a new role, planning partner compensation, or learning how fund payouts work, this tool gives you a quick view of what carried interest could look like in a real-world scenario.

Built for fund managers, analysts, associates, and operating partners, the calculator supports both traditional VC fund models and SPV-style carry scenarios. It’s useful whether you’re evaluating a 3x return on a $100M fund or calculating the value of a 0.5% carry stake in a microfund.

Use this carried interest calculator to explore deal returns, GP/LP splits, and potential payouts under a European waterfall or American waterfall model.
