PrivateTechShares ISO/AMT Calculator
Know the real cash + AMT before you exercise your options
Free US calculator: estimate the real cash to exercise your startup stock options — the strike cost, the "bargain element," and the tax that catches people off guard: AMT for ISOs, or ordinary income tax for NSOs. The bill can land the year you exercise, before you've sold a single share. Plain-English, no sign-up, no email wall. Just the number in ~10 seconds. Part of PrivateTechShares, a resource hub for people navigating startup equity and liquidity.
Hi PH 👋
I kept seeing startup employees get blindsided by the tax bill after exercising their ISOs — sometimes tens of thousands in AMT they hadn't planned for, owed in the year they exercised, before selling a single share. Most calculators for this are buried in a CPA's spreadsheet or gated behind a signup.
So I built a free, no-signup one that gives you the honest total in a few seconds: strike cost + the AMT (ISOs) or ordinary tax (NSOs). It's a planning estimate, not tax advice.
Would love to hear what other equity questions you'd want a tool like this to answer — happy to talk ISOs, AMT, or selling private shares in the thread.
