How the SaaS valuation calculator works
The model starts from a base multiple and adjusts for growth, margin, churn and concentration, bounded between 1x and 8x ARR.
These coefficients are a teaching model, not market data.
How to read the result
- Use the output to understand which levers matter, then compare against sourced transactions.
Questions
Are these real market multiples?
No. The model is illustrative. See the SaaS multiples guide for how to find sourced data.
