Risk-Free Rate calculation / calculated. How does Valutico calculate its Risk-free rate, risk-free rate, spread, risk-free rate date

Updated over a week ago

We calculate the effective interest rate using the latest available interest expense and the latest available (book) value of debt at the valuation date. When you create a Private Company Valuation, this date is either chosen by you or reverts to the latest date you've created or altered the valuation.

The spread is then calculated by comparing this to the peer's country's risk-free rate (usually the yield on 10-year gov bonds as of valuation date). You can see the calculations by selecting "Financials" by clicking on the three dots to the left of each peer's name.
