starting point, not a random number. It starts with your annual profit and then adjusts based on a few signals buyers commonly look at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Recent growth (how the latest month compares to prior months)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business age and stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revenue scale (which ARR band you fall into)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traffic volume (monthly unique sessions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind the scenes, these inputs are blended into a single profit multiple. The result you see is your estimated valuation and the corresponding multiple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can treat this as a benchmark, a way to quickly sense-check your expectations before diving into a detailed valuation, buyer conversations, or a full sale process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  .faq-section {\n    max-width: 700px;\n    margin: 60px auto;\n    font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;\n  }\n  .faq-section h3 {\n    font-size: 24px;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    margin-bottom: 24px;\n    color: #1a1a1a;\n  }\n  .faq {\n    margin-bottom: 12px;\n    border: 1px solid #ddd;\n    border-radius: 8px;\n    overflow: hidden;\n  }\n  .faq summary {\n    background: #f9f9f9;\n    cursor: pointer;\n    padding: 14px 18px;\n    font-weight: 600;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    color: #102a43;\n    list-style: none;\n  }\n  .faq summary::-webkit-details-marker {\n    display: none;\n  }\n  .faq p {\n    padding: 12px 18px 18px 18px;\n    margin: 0;\n    font-size: 15px;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n    color: #333;\n    background-color: #fff;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"faq-section\">\n  <h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n  <details class=\"faq\">\n    <summary>How accurate is this SaaS valuation calculator?<\/summary>\n    <p>\n      The calculator gives you a strong ballpark based on real market data and the metrics you enter. It reflects the same basic logic buyers and brokers use, but it doesn\u2019t replace a full expert review. Treat it as a directionally accurate starting point, not a final sale price.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details class=\"faq\">\n    <summary>What\u2019s included when speaking with a Flippa broker?<\/summary>\n    <p>\n   A Flippa broker takes you beyond a quick estimate and into a tailored review of your <a href=\"#\">SaaS business<\/a>. They look at your growth, churn, LTV\/CAC, acquisition channels, risks, tech stack, traffic quality, and current buyer demand. You get a more precise valuation and clear recommendations for how to position your business before you list.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details class=\"faq\">\n    <summary>How are SaaS multiples calculated?<\/summary>\n    <p>\n      Most SaaS multiples start with your ARR and are then adjusted for growth, churn, profitability, market size, and founder dependency. Fast-growing, low-churn, profitable businesses tend to earn higher multiples, while slower or riskier businesses usually see lower ones.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details class=\"faq\">\n    <summary>Can I use this valuation to <a href=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-a-saas-company\/\">sell my SaaS<\/a>?<\/summary>\n    <p>\nYes, it\u2019s a solid starting point for understanding what your SaaS might be worth. For an actual sale, we recommend working with one of our brokers who can refine the valuation, help you understand buyer appetite, and guide you through listing and negotiation.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details class=\"faq\">\n    <summary>What other metrics do buyers care about?<\/summary>\n    <p>\n      Beyond ARR, growth, and churn, savvy buyers also look at average revenue per user (ARPU), net revenue retention (NRR), customer acquisition cost (CAC), founder dependency, code quality, market defensibility, and MRR distribution. Flippa\u2019s expert valuations factor these into the bigger picture so you know where you stand and what to improve before going to market.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/details>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instantly estimate your valuation using real growth, churn, and ARR: no forms required.
