RSU Calculator – Easily Estimate Your Stock Value

This tool will help you calculate the value of your restricted stock units (RSUs).

RSU Calculator

This RSU calculator is designed to help you estimate the value of your Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) based on the number of stocks granted, the vesting period, the price at the grant date, the current stock price, and your tax rate.

How to Use the Calculator

  • Enter the number of RSUs granted to you.
  • Enter the vesting period in years.
  • Enter the price per stock at the grant date.
  • Enter the current stock price.
  • Enter your tax rate as a percentage.
  • Click on the “Calculate” button to see the result.

How the Calculator Works

The calculator takes the following steps to compute your net gain:

  1. Calculates the total value of your RSUs at the grant date by multiplying the number of RSUs by the price at grant date.
  2. Calculates the current total value of your RSUs by multiplying the number of RSUs by the current stock price.
  3. Computes the gain by subtracting the value at grant date from the current total value.
  4. Applies the tax rate to the gain to determine the tax amount.
  5. Subtracts the tax amount from the gain to determine the net gain.

Limitations of the Calculator

Please note that this calculator provides an estimate based on the inputs you provide and does not account for various factors such as:

  • Different vesting schedules (e.g., monthly or quarterly vesting)
  • Changes in stock price over time
  • Other tax considerations (e.g., federal vs. state taxes)
  • Specific company policies regarding RSUs

Always consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to understand the full implications of your RSUs.
