A company is worth the cash it will generate — discounted back to today. Build a DCF and watch how growth and discount rate swing the value.

what future cash is worth today

Presets
Discounted cash flow values a business as the present worth of all its future cash. Distant cash is worth less because of the discount rate, and a terminal value captures everything beyond the forecast horizon. Educational tool, not financial advice.
Reading this result: A 2.0-point gap between discount and growth shrinks each later year of present value; the terminal still accounts for 57% of the total.

How it works
Discounted cash flow sums the present value of forecast cash flows, discounting distant cash more heavily, and adds a terminal value for everything beyond the horizon. The discount rate and terminal growth assumption dominate the result — small changes move the valuation a lot. Educational tool, not financial advice.
