How we calculate the values

We replay your vesting schedule against real closing prices and the company's earnings calendar.

  1. Your vestings. Shares vest every three months, from your first vesting date up to your last one. Each vesting releases the same number of shares.
  2. When you can sell. Trading windows usually open after a company reports earnings, so shares generally can't be sold on the vesting day. We sell each vesting on the first trading day after the closest earnings call on or after its vesting date. A call on the vesting day counts, and weekends and market holidays are skipped. If that call hasn't happened yet, the window isn't open and the vesting is valued at the latest price.
  3. What it's worth. A sale is valued at that day's closing price. Selling today uses the latest price.
  4. Three ways to sell. Sell everything today. Sell everything during the last open trading window, at the sale-day price of your last vesting. Or sell each vested equity at its closest trading window, one sale per vesting.
  5. What's left out. Taxes, withholding (including shares sold to cover tax), broker fees, currency conversion and the price you actually get. These are estimates, not financial advice.
