DCF Valuation Calculator

Calculate discounted cash flow valuation with terminal value.

Introduction

DCF Valuation Calculator — Calculate discounted cash flow valuation with terminal value. Enter Projected cash flows (comma-separated), Discount rate (%), Terminal growth rate (%) to get an instant, accurate result.

Formula

Enterprise value = Σ (cash flow in year t / (1+r)^t) for each projected year, plus the present value of a terminal value calculated with the standard Gordon Growth Model: TV = (final year cash flow × (1+g)) / (r − g), discounted back to present at rate r.

Step-by-step

  1. Enter the Projected cash flows (comma-separated).
  2. Enter the Discount rate (%).
  3. Enter the Terminal growth rate (%).
  4. Click Calculate to see your result instantly.

Real-world example

Example: With Projected cash flows (comma-separated) = 100, 100, 100, Discount rate (%) = 10, Terminal growth rate (%) = 2, the DCF Valuation Calculator gives Pv Of Cash Flows: 248.6852, Terminal Value: 1275, Pv Of Terminal Value: 957.9264.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Gordon Growth Model?
A standard formula for estimating the value of all cash flows beyond your explicit projection period, assuming they grow at a constant rate g forever, discounted at rate r.
What happens if the growth rate is close to the discount rate?
The terminal value formula becomes unstable (or undefined if they're equal) since you're dividing by (r − g) — growth rate should always be meaningfully lower than the discount rate.
How sensitive is the result to my assumptions?
Very — small changes in discount rate or terminal growth rate can swing the valuation significantly, since the terminal value often makes up the majority of total enterprise value.
What inputs does the DCF Valuation Calculator need?
You'll need to provide: Projected cash flows (comma-separated), Discount rate (%), Terminal growth rate (%). All fields use sensible defaults, so you can see a working example immediately and then adjust the values to match your own numbers.
How accurate is the DCF Valuation Calculator?
The DCF Valuation Calculator applies the formula exactly as calculated — Enterprise value = Σ (cash flow in year t / (1+r)^t) for each projected year, plus the present value of a terminal value calculated with the standard Gordon Growth Model: TV = (final year cash flow × (1+g)) / (r − g), discounted back to present at rate r. — so results are precise for the inputs you provide. Accuracy depends on entering correct, realistic input values.
Is the DCF Valuation Calculator free to use?
Yes, the DCF Valuation Calculator is completely free, requires no signup, and runs instantly in your browser.

About the DCF Valuation Calculator

The DCF Valuation Calculator uses a real, verifiable formula — Enterprise value = Σ (cash flow in year t / (1+r)^t) for each projected year, plus the present value of a terminal value calculated with the standard Gordon Growth Model: TV = (final year cash flow × (1+g)) / (r − g), discounted back to present at rate r. — so results are accurate every time, not an approximation.
