Learn more about how to use the calculator before you get started.

The calculations below are based on a few assumptions.

No other shares have been issued
Current shareholders have paid nothing for their shares (and will be subject to CGT at 20% on sale)
EMI options are exercised at current share price, only on exit (and will be subject to Entrepreneurs' Relief CGT at 10%)
Unapproved options are exercised at current share price, only on exit (and will be subject to Income Tax at 40%)
Proceeds from EMI and unapproved options exercised are added to exit valuation
Growth shares are issued at a hurdle above current share price (and will be subject to CGT at 20% on sale)
