Calculate ARR, revenue multiple, and rough payback period from asking price and monthly recurring revenue.

Quick Answer

MRR multiple calculator

An MRR multiple shows how many years of current recurring revenue a buyer is paying for the asset. It is a starting point, not a full valuation, because it ignores churn, margin, growth, support load, and transfer risk.

ARR

$42,000

Revenue multiple

1.4x

Asking price divided by ARR.

Monthly revenue payback

17.1 months

Annual revenue payback

1.4 years

When the multiple is misleading

A low multiple can still be risky if churn is high or the product cannot transfer. A high multiple can be justified only when retention, margin, and strategic value are strong.
