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'

@daveparkhere @_jacksmith Good point guys. I was too focused on the early stage startups but the more established ones do have much higher valuations.

@mubashariqbal Now that the scale goes up to $1T, I would recommend making it logarithmic. Very hard to control lower valuation inputs (e.g. 100M)

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

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.

@rrhoover Thanks Ryan! I added a note about the taxes, the specifics get very complicated :)

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!

@chrismaddern Thanks Chris. I know people are little shy about asking these type of questions, and take for granted that the option will be worth something. I've always thought about them in terms of adding to the other parts of your compensation package, not the entirety of it :) Open to any suggestions for improving the page.

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.

Love the "You could buy...." part :) Is "You could buy part of Hawaii" in there?
