What's your equity grant actually worth?

Not the headline "number of options" — the after-tax value per year, spread across vesting. Deliberately simplified; see the assumptions below.

Assumes straight-line vesting and taxes the full spread at your marginal rate — a simplified estimate, not a substitute for your actual vesting schedule.

Questions people actually ask

Why is this simplified rather than a real vesting calculator?
Real vesting has cliffs, quarterly or monthly tranches, acceleration clauses, and liquidity restrictions that vary grant to grant — modelling all of that accurately needs your actual grant letter, not a generic calculator. This gives you a straight-line estimate good enough to sense-check an offer.
When is ESOP/RSU value actually taxed in India?
As a perquisite (salary income) at the time you exercise options or RSUs vest, based on the spread between fair market value and what you paid — then again as capital gains if you sell later at a different price.
