SaaS Business Valuation Resources
Calculators, guides, and exit-prep playbooks tailored to SaaS businesses.
What Drives SaaS Valuations
SaaS businesses typically trade at 3× – 9× trailing EBITDA (median 5.5×) across the $1M - $25M ARR revenue range. Those multiples are not fixed — they shift materially based on how the business is structured, how dependent it is on the owner, and how visible future cash flows are to a buyer. The resources below walk through the specific levers that expand or compress your number.
Market note: Vertical SaaS in regulated industries trades higher than horizontal SaaS. Multiples compress fast when growth slows below 20% YoY.
Multiple expanders
- Net revenue retention >110%
- Gross margin >75%
- <5% monthly churn
- ARR > $2M with rule-of-40 above 40
Multiple compressors
- Top customer concentration >25%
- Owner-led sales >50% of revenue
- Tech debt or legacy stack
XIT Matters calculates your valuation using FCFF (intrinsic value), FCFE (equity value), and EV/EBITDA (market comps) — then blends them weighted for your perspective as an owner. See the full methodology.
