WACC Calculator: What Is Your True Cost of Capital?

 

Your Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the benchmark return investors expect from your business.
Our WACC Calculator helps you quickly estimate this rate by combining:

  • Cost of Debt (interest rates, tax impact, capital structure)

  • Cost of Equity (risk-free rate, beta, market risk premium, company-specific risks)

  • Capital Mix (debt vs. equity share in enterprise value)

With just a few inputs, the calculator shows your WACC, the hurdle rate you need to beat to create value, raise capital, and make smarter investment decisions.
