Model your scenario
Enter every material assumption explicitly. If a cost is genuinely zero, enter 0. DOMALYST does not silently turn missing inputs into zero.
Domain Max Bid Calculator
Set a rational acquisition ceiling.
A max bid is not a domain appraisal. It answers a different question: given an explicit exit scenario, carrying costs and required return, what is the most you can rationally pay today?

The result is a scenario-based acquisition ceiling, not a prediction that the domain will sell at your assumed price.

How to use a domain max bid
Separate valuation evidence from acquisition discipline.
First investigate the domain and the market evidence. Then use a max-bid model to decide what the asset is worth to you under a specific return requirement.
Why discount the future sale?
Money received years from now is not economically equivalent to money spent today. The target annual return discounts the modeled exit back to a present-value ceiling.
Why include renewal cost?
A domain can look cheap at acquisition while carrying meaningful holding cost over several years. Renewal and other carrying costs reduce the rational bid.
Does this estimate market value?
No. Your expected sale price is an input assumption. Use the Domain Analyzer and Methodology to separate evidence from assumptions.
What if the ceiling is zero?
That means the modeled exit does not support a positive acquisition price at your required return after the costs you entered. PASS is a valid decision.
