How we calculate total compensation

Total compensation includes salary, bonuses, and equity. We calculate take-home pay for each component after taxes.

  • Base salary: Taxed as ordinary income using progressive federal and state brackets based on your filing status and location.
  • Cash bonus: Typically withheld at 22% federal (or 37% for bonuses over $1 million) plus state taxes and FICA.
  • RSUs at vest: Taxed as ordinary income when they vest, at your marginal tax rate. Your employer typically withholds 22% federal plus state tax and FICA.
  • Stock price impact: Changes in stock price affect the value of your equity at vesting, which directly impacts your taxable income and take-home pay.

Typically, you'll receive 60-75% of RSU value after taxes, depending on your tax bracket and state.
