RSU Tax Calculator: VestClear

Vesting Tracker for ISO & ESPP

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Ready for 2027: VestClear rolls into the new tax year on its own, labels 2027 as an estimate until the IRS publishes, and plans your quarterly safe-harbor payments. Your employer withholds a flat 22% on your RSUs. Your real rate is probably 32-37%. That gap is a tax bill waiting for you in April. VestClear shows you the number. Enter your grants and it projects what you'll actually owe against what's being withheld, per vest, so you know exactly what to set aside. WHAT IT DOES Withholding gap — the difference between the flat 22% supplemental rate and your true marginal rate, with the dollar amount to set aside. Broken out into federal, state, local, FICA and SDI. Every vest is stacked on top of your salary and your earlier vests of the year, and your state's own withholding rule for bonuses and RSUs is applied. AMT alert for ISOs — exercising incentive stock options can trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax. VestClear estimates the hit before you exercise, and the what-if exerciser lets you model how many options to exercise this year. Every equity type — RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, ESPP, PSUs and restricted stock. Options are handled correctly: vesting isn't taxable, exercising is. ESPP done right — lookback, discount, and the qualifying versus disqualifying disposition rules that decide how much of your gain is ordinary income. Capital gains — short and long term, the 3.8% net investment income tax, and your state's tax on the gain when you record a sale. The year's sales are taxed together, the way your return does it. Vesting timeline — every upcoming vest, its value, and its tax impact. Past vests use the price on the vest date. Estimated tax planner — due dates for everyone; with Premium, the quarterly amounts under the safe harbor rule (90% of this year's tax, or 100%/110% of last year's). Reminders and a home screen widget — a heads-up before each vest, and your next vest always in view. CSV export — hand your accountant a file instead of retyping numbers. Free. WHERE YOU LIVE Federal plus all 50 states and DC, with California SDI, New York City local tax and New York's tax-benefit recapture built in. Real marginal-rate stacking, not flat guesses. Tax years 2025 and 2026; 2027 is shown as a clearly labelled estimate until the IRS and SSA publish the 2027 figures. Most states' own deductions, credits and head-of-household schedules aren't applied yet, so a state figure can run slightly high. Other municipal taxes — Yonkers, Philadelphia, Ohio local, Maryland and Indiana county — and Connecticut's rate phase-out are not modeled yet. The app tells you when that applies to you. PRIVACY Every calculation runs on your device. There is no account to create and no server that sees your salary, your grants, or your tax profile. Backups go to your own iCloud. The only thing that leaves your phone is a ticker symbol, to fetch a share price. SUBSCRIPTION Free: one grant (the built-in sample doesn't count), the vesting timeline, vest reminders, the home screen widget, planner due dates and CSV export.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Ready for 2027: the tax year now follows the calendar. Until the IRS and SSA publish 2027 figures, 2027 is shown as a clearly labelled estimate based on the official 2026 federal tables. • Estimated tax planner: quarterly amounts and due dates using the safe harbor rule (90% of this year's tax, or 100%/110% of last year's), including Additional Medicare and the tax on your sales. • The vesting timeline, grant details and vest-day alerts now count your earlier vests of the year, matching the Dashboard. • Vests that already happened use the price on the vest date (recorded automatically, or enter it on the grant). • Stock sales: state tax for every state plus NYC, and the year's gains are taxed together, so the order of your sales no longer changes the result. • State withholding rules for bonuses and RSUs in every state (e.g. Minnesota 6.25%, Oregon 8%); New York high-income recapture. • Sell-to-cover now counts the shares your employer already kept. • Recorded sales reduce your portfolio value. • The sample grant no longer uses up your free grant. • Foreign listings (e.g. London prices in pence) and unlisted companies ask for a USD price instead of showing a wrong one. • Fixes: Montana and NYC tax bases, a one-day mismatch between the Dashboard and the widget, California married-filing-separately brackets, date formats, and more.
