They are relative to the valuation of the company and the shares issued by the company. So for example if company has 2 million common shares and the valuation of a company is 4 million dollars then each common share is worth $2. Usually valuation of company occurs upon financing and that can vary, based on how well can you sell part or all your company, so for example if you are inquiring financing of $400,000 of the company at pre-money valuation of $4 million, that means that the post money valuation is $4.4 million, you can then either issue more shares for the same pirce of $2 per share or sell some of your own for $2.2 a share, because share prices is calculated post money. However when you do get financing, most investors would rather you issue preferred shares for the same price, because they will get more privileges with the preferred shares.
