Formula & Methodology

The calculator uses the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis, which estimates the value of a company based on the present value of its expected future free cash flows. The formula used is:

V = CF₁ / (r – g) * (1 + g)^(n – 1) – P * (1 + g)^n

Where:

• V = Company Value
• CF₁ = First year’s cash flow
• r = Discount rate
• g = Growth rate
• P = Net profit
• n = Number of periods (set to 10 years)
