SaaS Valuation Calculator
Apply growth-adjusted ARR multiples plus NRR and Rule of 40 modifiers to estimate enterprise value. The same framework used by SaaS investors and acquirers.
What this calculator does
The SaaS Valuation Calculator estimate SaaS company value from ARR, growth, and NRR, then compares your result against operator benchmarks (Public SaaS median: 6-8x ARR. Top quartile: 12x+ at high growth and NRR > 120%.). Enter your numbers below and you'll get a result, a benchmark band, and a plain-English interpretation in under two minutes.

Interpretation
Premium valuation territory. Your combination of growth, retention, and efficiency commands top-quartile multiples. This is venture-scale performance.
Note: This is an indicative estimate using normalized multiples. Actual valuations depend on market conditions, comparable transactions, strategic value, and deal-specific factors.
Formula
Valuation = ARR × Multiple. Multiple driven by growth rate, NRR, and Rule of 40.Benchmarks: Public SaaS median: 6-8x ARR. Top quartile: 12x+ at high growth and NRR > 120%.

Frequently asked questions
What's the Rule of 40?
Growth Rate % + Profit Margin % >= 40. It captures the tradeoff between growth and efficiency: a company can be 50% growth and -10% margin (40), or 20% growth and 20% margin (40), and both clear the bar. Below 40 typically gets a valuation discount.
Why does NRR matter so much for valuation?
NRR > 100% means the existing book grows even with zero new logos, a near-zero-CAC growth engine. Public markets reward this with multiple expansion: companies at 130%+ NRR consistently trade at 1.3-1.5x the multiple of comparable companies at 100% NRR.
Are these multiples realistic in current markets?
Multiples compress and expand with capital markets. The framework here uses normalized post-2023 multiples. In hot markets, multiply outputs by 1.3-1.5x; in cold markets, by 0.6-0.8x. Use this as a relative benchmark, not an absolute number.
