Understanding SaaS Valuation Multiples
Valuing a SaaS business is primarily driven by its revenue quality and growth trajectory. In 2026, healthy early-stage SaaS startups typically command multiples between 6x and 12x ARR, though "outliers" with 100%+ growth can still see higher premiums.
The Valuation Formula
Our calculator applies a baseline multiple and adjusts it based on your growth rate:
- Baseline: 5x ARR for stable growth (20-40%).
- Growth Bonus: Additional 1x-5x added for high-growth tiers (50% to 200%+).
