What this calculator does not model
- ISOs / NSOs — stock options have a strike price, AMT exposure, and exercise timing. Different math entirely.
- Pre-IPO illiquidity — private company RSUs may have no public market to sell into.
- Share price volatility — we model a flat growth rate. Real grants can swing 30-50% in either direction.
- Section 83(b) elections — early-exercise private options can shift the tax clock.
Disclaimer
Tax estimates use simplified 2024-2025 brackets. They exclude FICA on RSU income above the wage base, AMT, NIIT (3.8%), state-specific credits, and spouse income. Treat the take-home figure as a planning estimate, not a tax return. For a meaningful RSU grant, talk to a CPA familiar with equity compensation.
