DCF Valuation Calculator (FCFF, FCFE, Reverse DCF)
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Valuation
A DCF estimates the intrinsic value of a business as the present value of the free cash flows it is expected to generate. This tool is fully modular and transparent: it asks for your methodological choices first, then only the parameters those choices require. Nothing is hardcoded: every market and company figure is your input.
- Variant: FCFF discounted at the WACC (→ Enterprise Value), FCFE at the cost of equity (→ Equity Value), or APV (unlevered flows at Ru + tax shields).
- Terminal value: Gordon perpetuity, the McKinsey value-driver formula, or an exit multiple.
- Sensitivity: a two-way table showing how the value moves with the WACC and the perpetual growth, and how much of the value rests on the terminal value.
- Reverse DCF: invert the model to read what growth, margin or advantage period the current market price is implicitly pricing in (a single implied value, or a two-lever iso-value frontier).
- Guided setup: an optional panel that fills in suggested values from sector and country tables and narrows the sliders, which you then adjust. The suggested values are transparent priors, not fixed defaults.
Cost of capital inputs (equity risk premium, tax rate, country risk premium) come from the country tables published by Professor Aswath Damodaran (Stern NYU). See Country Default Spreads and Risk Premiums for aggregated, contextual and up to date figures by country, also linked on the Vibe Check page.
The market and company figures you enter are assumptions, not facts. This tool is for education and analysis and is not investment advice.
