Put together a quick guide all about taxes/financial implications of participating in a tender offer: https://manual.withcompound.com/chapters/what-to-do-if-your-...


"A tricky part of this is trying to guesstimate what your stock could be worth in the future."

Tricky, yes, quite.

This is really neat! We've been hacking on a version of this at Compound http://withcompound.com/ , built specifically for folks who have illiquid assets like startup equity. Similar tools that help you model out your finances/taxes.

May find useful!

Hey there (co-founder of Compound here). You’re correct—timing of the payout is critical. We try to show that in the left-hand-side (today, 3, years, at IPO) but there’s more nuance to provide (e.g., are you applying AMT credits to your net outcome, is QSBS accounted for, etc.?). The example also includes that exercise and sale occur in separate years and that that sale is being realized as a long-term capital gain. The net tax liability we’re showing is the sum of taxes owed at exercised (AMT, which is often a credit) and taxes owed at sale (LTCG). We’re adding more specificity to this and future essays (as there are infinite permutations we can make).
