About the Recurring Revenue Valuation Simulator

Model ARR growth at a revenue multiple to see how a recurring-revenue business’s valuation climbs over the years.

It's built for directional planning: change any assumption and watch the whole projection move, the way a seasoned operator pressure-tests a plan before committing capital. Everything is computed live in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

How the Recurring Revenue Valuation Simulator Works

The model takes 4 assumptions and returns 3 headline metrics plus a full breakdown. Here is exactly what goes in and what comes out — no black box.

The Operator's Read

Valuation is ARR times a multiple — and the multiple itself rises with growth and retention. That double compounding is why a few points of growth swing enterprise value by millions. Educational only.

Assumptions & Limitations

  • The model is deterministic: it projects your inputs forward with clear arithmetic, not a Monte-Carlo or probabilistic forecast. It shows one scenario at a time — run several to bracket a range.
  • Defaults are illustrative benchmarks, not your business. Replace every field with your real numbers before drawing conclusions.
  • It abstracts away taxes, financing, seasonality, and one-off events unless a field explicitly captures them. Treat the output as a directional estimate.
  • This is an educational tool, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Validate real decisions with a qualified professional.
