ESOP & Equity Modeller

What happens to my startup equity if I leave?

Startup equity is the asset most mangled by departure, because three different tax regimes fight over it: ESS rules at the taxing point, CGT (and deemed disposal) once you hold shares, and the destination’s claim on anything that vests after you arrive.

Register each grant and we’ll model the three most common cases properly: a deferred ESS taxing point that follows you abroad, vested unexercised options at the departure line, and RSUs vesting after you leave, stay vs go, per grant, with the dominant driver named. What v1 doesn’t cover is listed honestly at the end.
