Free SaaS / Subscription Discounted Cashflow Forecasting Model — DCF Valuation (Excel)

A SaaS / Subscription DCF valuation model discounts the future free cash flow of a SaaS business back to today at your cost of capital. High-growth recurring revenue and ~80% gross margins push most value into the terminal value, so WACC (~13%) and churn assumptions dominate. Build unlevered free cash flow, a WACC or full CAPM discount rate, a Gordon-Growth terminal value and equity IRR in a fully formula-linked Excel workbook — free for up to 3 years.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a SaaS DCF different?

In a SaaS valuation, high-growth recurring revenue and ~80% gross margins push most value into the terminal value, so WACC (~13%) and churn assumptions dominate. The model builds unlevered free cash flow, discounts it at your WACC, adds a Gordon-Growth terminal value cross-checked against an EV/EBITDA multiple, and runs sensitivity tables so you present a range, not a single point.

How many years should a SaaS DCF forecast cover?

Usually 3–5 years for most rounds, 7–10 for later-stage — long enough for cash flows to mature so the terminal value isn't doing all the work. The free tier covers 3 years; premium extends to 25.

Is this SaaS DCF template free?

Yes — a full 3-year SaaS DCF valuation downloads free with no sign-up. Free for a 3-year model; 5–25 years is $19.98 per model download, no subscription.
