Example calculations

SaaS company valuation

A SaaS company has $10M revenue, $2M EBITDA, with 5× revenue multiple and 20× EBITDA multiple.

Revenue-based value = $10M × 5 = $50M. EBITDA-based value = $2M × 20 = $40M.

Revenue-based valuation:
$50.0M
EBITDA-based valuation:
$40.0M
Average valuation:
$45.0M

The company is valued at approximately $45M based on revenue and EBITDA multiples.

Interpreting your results

Revenue multiples are used for high-growth, pre-profit companies.

EBITDA multiples are used for profitable, established companies.

The average of both methods provides a balanced estimate.
