RSU Vesting And Tax Withholding: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers units vesting and share price at vest (currency). Stub page. Not published yet.

RSU Vesting And Tax Withholding Calculator is a planned calculator in the finance section of Super Calculator, covering equity compensation.

What this calculator will compute

Inputs: units vesting, share price at vest (currency), vesting schedule, marginal rate (%), supplemental withholding rate (%), state and filing status.

Outputs: ordinary income at vest (currency), shares withheld, tax shortfall at filing (currency) and cost basis of retained shares (currency).

Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Restricted stock units are ordinary income at vest equal to the share count multiplied by the fair market value on the vest date, with statutory supplemental withholding that is frequently below the recipient marginal rate, producing an unexpected balance at filing. Subsequent gains are capital gains from the vest date basis.
