METHODOLOGY

How the analysis works.

The calculator grows the starting free cash flow for the selected forecast period, discounts each forecast cash flow at the discount rate, calculates terminal value using the Gordon growth formula, and discounts terminal value to present value.

LIMITATIONS

What this does not replace.

DCF output is highly sensitive to free cash flow, discount-rate and terminal-growth assumptions. The calculator does not independently validate forecasts, capital structure, taxes, non-operating assets or market conditions.

FAQ

Questions about this tool.

What discount rate should I use in a DCF?

The appropriate discount rate depends on the risk and capital structure of the business or asset. This calculator does not prescribe one; users should document and review the assumption used.

Why must the discount rate exceed terminal growth?

The Gordon growth terminal-value formula requires the discount rate to be greater than the perpetual growth rate.
