RSU value calculator
Enter the restricted stock units in your grant, a share price and the vesting schedule from your offer. See the total value and how much vests each year, at each vest and at the cliff.

Your results
- Total value = units times share price. Value each year = total divided by vesting years. Value per vest = total divided by vesting years times vests per year.
- Value at the cliff = total times cliff months divided by vesting months, assuming even vesting; it is 0 without a cliff.
- Gross values at the price you enter, before any tax or deductions, in the currency you entered. The share price on each vest date decides the real value.
How to use it
- Enter the grant and a price. Type the number of units from your offer or grant letter and a share price. Try a few prices to see how the value moves if the share price rises or falls.
- Add the vesting schedule. Enter how many years the grant vests over, the cliff in months and how often shares vest after that, all taken from your grant agreement.
- Read the value over time. See the total value, the value vesting each year, the value at each regular vest and the value that vests at the cliff, so you can add it to a job offer comparison.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the value of my RSUs?
Multiply the number of units by a share price to get the total value, then divide by the vesting years for the yearly value. For 4,000 units at 25 vesting over 4 years, the grant is worth 100,000 and 25,000 vests each year. Quarterly vesting puts 6,250 in each vest.
What is a vesting cliff?
A cliff is a waiting period before the first shares vest. The calculator assumes the shares for the months before the cliff all vest together when it ends. With a 12-month cliff on a 4-year grant of 100,000, the cliff vest is 25,000, and regular vests follow after that.
My offer states the grant as an amount, not units. What do I enter?
Divide the amount by the share price your employer used to set the number of units, if your offer says it, and enter the result as units. Otherwise enter a price you want to test and read the results as an estimate based on that price.
Is the result what I will receive?
It is a gross value at the price you enter, before any tax or deductions. The real value on each vest date depends on the share price then, and your grant agreement decides what happens to unvested units if you leave, so read it before you rely on the figures.
