Estimate income tax and selling costs associated with an RSU vesting event. Because RSUs are generally modeled as compensation at vest, the calculator applies your entered tax rate to the fair market value and then shows net proceeds if the shares are sold at the vesting price.
The main result is the estimated tax generated by the vesting value at the rate you entered.
Withholding is a prepayment and may not equal final tax. This model does not include later capital gains or losses.
For 750 RSUs at $22 and a 37% combined rate, taxable compensation is $16,500 and estimated tax is $6,105, leaving $10,395 before any selling fee.

The math can use fractional shares. Your employer plan or broker may restrict actual purchases or sales to whole shares.
No. The calculator uses the single price or constant growth assumption you enter and does not simulate volatility.
