Free Cannabis Compliance Tools & Calculators

Running a licensed cannabis business in California means constant math: what a license will cost, what a violation could cost, where you can operate, and what your business is worth. To make those answers easier to reach, Baghoomian Law maintains a full suite of free interactive tools and resources at DCCLicensing.com. Every tool below is free to use, built around California’s actual regulations and fee schedules, and designed for operators, applicants, and investors.

Calculators

What Is My Business Worth?

A valuation calculator for licensed California cannabis businesses. Enter your license category, annual revenue, net income, and market conditions, and it estimates your enterprise value — including a breakdown of how much value comes from operational cash flow versus the regulatory value of the license itself. A smart first stop before you buy, sell, or raise capital.

Penalty Calculator

Estimate what a violation could actually cost. Select your license type, revenue, and the violation at issue — along with any aggravating or mitigating factors — and the tool applies the DCC’s Disciplinary Guidelines to project a penalty range and the likely disciplinary outcome.

Fee Calculator

Budget your licensing costs before you file. Pick your license type and the calculator returns the DCC application fee, the annual license fee, and your total first-year cost based on the official state fee schedule.

280E Tax Calculator

See what IRS Section 280E really does to your bottom line. Because federal law bars cannabis businesses from deducting ordinary operating expenses, effective tax rates can dwarf those of comparable companies — this calculator quantifies that hit so you can plan for it.

Maps & Enforcement Data

California Legal Map

An interactive map of local cannabis rules across every California city and county. See at a glance which jurisdictions allow, restrict, or prohibit your business type — essential homework before you sign a lease or file an application.

Enforcement Heatmap

A searchable view of DCC enforcement activity — citations and fines, license denials, and revocations — so you can spot enforcement patterns by license type and regulation, and shore up the areas regulators are actually targeting.

Compliance Tools

Inspection Self-Audit

Walk through the same priorities a DCC inspector checks — track-and-trace reconciliation, video retention, limited-access areas, records — and find your gaps before an inspector finds them for you.

Violation Explainer

Plain-English explanations of California cannabis violation categories: what each violation means, how severe it is under the disciplinary framework, and what consequences typically follow.

Free SOP Library

A library of free standard operating procedure templates for licensed operations. Strong written SOPs are the backbone of a defensible compliance program — and one of the first things regulators ask to see.

Due Diligence Checklist

An interactive checklist for cannabis acquisitions, investments, and refinancings. Track document collection across every category of a deal, export your progress to Excel, and work from guidance current to today’s DCC requirements.

Compliance Glossary

A reference glossary of the regulatory and industry terms that fill DCC notices, regulations, and license paperwork — so you always know exactly what the Department means.

Compliance Trivia

A quick, interactive quiz built on California’s Disciplinary Guidelines. Use it to test yourself — or your staff — and turn compliance training into something your team actually remembers.
