Formula Used
Vested Shares = Total RSUs x (Vested Percent / 100)
Gross Vested Value = Vested Shares x Current Share Price
Estimated Tax = Gross Vested Value x ((Federal Tax + State Tax + Payroll Tax) / 100)
Net Sale Value = (Shares Sold x Current Share Price) - Taxes on Sold Shares - Broker Fee
Future Value of Kept Shares = Shares Kept x Future Share Price
Paper Gain = Gross Vested Value - (Vested Shares x Grant Date Share Price)
Local Currency Value = USD Value x FX Rate

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does this RSU calculator estimate?
It estimates vested shares, gross value, taxes, withholding gaps, sale proceeds, kept shares, and future value scenarios for restricted stock units.
2. Why include grant date share price?
Grant price helps compare current value against the original reference value, giving you a quick view of paper appreciation since the award date.
3. Are the tax results exact?
No. They are planning estimates. Actual taxes depend on payroll treatment, local rules, supplemental wage handling, deductions, and final year-end income.
4. What is employer withholding?
It is the percentage your employer may withhold at vesting. Your final liability can still be higher or lower than that amount.
5. Why model a future share price?
A future price lets you compare selling now versus holding remaining shares, so you can see upside or downside on kept stock.
6. Can I use local currency?
Yes. Enter your local currency per USD exchange rate. The calculator converts key sale and gross values into local currency.
7. Does it support partial sales?
Yes. You can choose any sale percentage from zero to one hundred and compare sold shares against kept shares.
8. Who should use this tool?
Employees, job candidates, compensation planners, and advisers can use it to review vesting events, payout timing, and tax exposure.
