Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter only the market, accounting, cash-flow, rate, or timing assumptions named by the fields.
  2. Keep currencies, periods, per-share values, and percentage conventions consistent.
  3. Review the formula and limitations before interpreting or comparing the result.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Terminal value at the terminal date = first post-forecast cash flow ÷ (discount rate − perpetual growth rate).

Fixed decimal inputs and scalar arithmetic remain exact until display. Root and growth calculations are explicitly marked approximate.

Worked example

Worked example

A first post-forecast cash flow of 500, discount rate of 9%, and growth of 3% produce terminal-date value of 8,333.33.

Terminal value at the terminal date = first post-forecast cash flow ÷ (discount rate − perpetual growth rate).

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Visible input limits

Fixed decimals accept up to 30 digits and 12 decimal places and are capped at an absolute value of 1e12 per input. Rates are capped at 1000%; narrower domains are validated by the formula.

International scope

No currency, exchange, live security price, accounting standard, tax jurisdiction, market convention, settlement rule, or regulatory disclosure is selected automatically.

Decision boundary

Results are calculations from visitor-entered assumptions, not market data, forecasts, financial advice, suitability assessments, fair-value opinions, or recommendations.

Calculator-specific assumptions

The result is value at the terminal date, not present value today. Discount it through the explicit forecast period before combining it with present-valued forecast cash flows.
