What is your startup equity actually worth?

Built for Australian startup employees.

You've got startup equity. The grant says something like “10,000 options at $2.50 exercise price” or “5,000 performance rights.” Most people don't know if that's life-changing money, a nice bonus, or effectively nothing. Find out what it's worth right now — and what the company needs to achieve for it to pay off.

Net value today — Instantly see what your equity is worth right now — and why it might show $0 at today's valuation.
Exit scenario modelling — See your potential payout at every exit — with likelihood context and a dilution assumption to model future funding rounds.
Ownership stake — Benchmark your ownership stake against typical grants at your stage and seniority.

Designed for employee stock options, ZEPOs, and performance rights. RSUs and direct share grants work differently and are not modelled here.

From your offer letter or grant agreement.

$

The price you pay per option to convert it into a share — usually set at fair market value on your grant date. Enter 0 for ZEPOs or performance rights — no cost to exercise. ZEPOs don't qualify for the ESS startup tax concession.

$

The current market value of all your options — don't subtract the exercise cost, we handle that. e.g. if your recruiter said “your options are worth $40k today”, enter $40,000. Price per share is derived from this automatically.

Optional — but the more you share, the sharper the picture

Benchmarking your grant against typical grants at this stage + exit likelihood labels (e.g. 10× realistic for Seed, exceptional for Series B+)

Role-adjusted benchmarking — Senior engineer vs VP grants vary significantly at the same stage

Your exact ownership % and how it compares to typical grants — most useful combined with stage and seniority above

Enter one — we'll derive the other.

%

Your ownership stake on a fully diluted basis — e.g. enter 0.5 for 0.5%, or 25 for 25%. Total shares are back-calculated from this, unlocking ownership benchmarking.

Stage-aware exit likelihood labels and auto-calculated gross equity value if you know your ownership %

$

Last funding round valuation — from your offer letter, Crunchbase, or ask your recruiter.

Liquidation preference warnings — shows how large an exit needs to be before investors are paid out and employees benefit

$

Total funding raised across all rounds — from your offer letter, Crunchbase, or ask your recruiter.
