Options Worth

Quick feedback: 1) you might want to have the scale go to more than $100m for the company valuation; especially in the Bay Area with companies like Uber. Ironically I once had a prospective employee say "even if the company were to get worth $100 million; my shares would only be worth x". Ironically the startup became worth quite a lot more than $100m within about 18 months. So yeah, probably a good idea to be able to model valuations higher than $100m :) 2) you probably want to clarify the 'total shares' part. e.g. 'total shares issued & outstanding'

I assume you don't account for any potential dilution. Have you thought about adding that as a parameter to play with?

Quickly calculate what your options are worth.

Nice find Eric!

Well designed, @mubashariqbal. You might want to add taxes to the calculation here as well or at least add a note as it's something people often forget to account for.

Thanks for the hunt Eric. When I'm learning something new I try and put it to realworld-ish usage. I've had the idea for the calculator for a while, and when I wanted to try out http://vuejs.org It seemed like a great project to try it out with. For anyone interested, I really like Vuejs and intended on using for future projects. The site itself is hosted on Github.

Fun! I think it's really important for companies to give team members (and perspective team members) the information they need to understand this. Both for transparency & so people can realize the size of the opportunity for the company and for them! Cool tool. I also like that % ownership is a side note as it is not a great way to think about stock in a post-A startup!
