How to Use the EBITDA Projection Tool

Input your current EBITDA, growth rate, and valuation multiple. The calculator models future values based on compounding EBITDA and changing multiples. This tool helps you understand how different growth scenarios and market conditions could impact your business valuation over time.

Formula Used

EBITDAt = EBITDA0 × (1 + GrowthRate)t

EnterpriseValuet = EBITDAt × Multiplet

EquityValuet = EnterpriseValuet − Debt + Cash

Example

If EBITDA = $250,000, growth = 12%, and multiple = 6:
Year 5 EBITDA = $440,000 → EV = $2.64M → Equity = $2.56M

How to Forecast Business Valuation Growth

Business valuation forecasting requires understanding your growth trajectory, market conditions, and industry-specific valuation multiples. Historical growth rates, market trends, and competitive positioning all play crucial roles in determining future valuation multiples.

EBITDA vs. Revenue Multiples

EBITDA multiples are preferred over revenue multiples because they account for operational efficiency and profitability. While revenue multiples can be useful for high-growth startups, EBITDA multiples provide a more accurate picture of sustainable business value.

Why Growth Rate Assumptions Matter

Growth rate assumptions significantly impact valuation projections. Conservative growth rates may undervalue high-potential businesses, while aggressive assumptions may lead to unrealistic expectations. Consider historical performance, market size, and competitive advantages when setting growth rates.

Industry Valuation Multiples

Different industries command different EBITDA multiples based on growth potential, profitability, and risk. Technology companies typically command higher multiples (8-12x) compared to traditional businesses (4-6x). Research your industry's current multiples for accurate projections.
