How to Use This Calculator

Startup valuation is typically calculated by multiplying Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by a multiple that depends on growth rate, market conditions, and company stage. High-growth SaaS companies (>100% YoY) can command 15-30x multiples, while slower-growth companies might see 5-10x.
