Employees With Restricted Stock Have Their First Online Record-Keeper
and Calculators
BROOKLINE, Mass., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- myStockOptions.com has built
the web's first online calculators and portfolio-tracker exclusively for the
growing number of employees whose compensation includes restricted stock and
restricted stock units (RSUs). myStockOptions.com provides this new record-
keeper free to all individuals who register at its award-winning Web site.
"With many companies now using restricted stock and RSUs in their equity
compensation, we feel that this is the right time to introduce a portfolio-
tracker and calculators expressly for these types of equity awards," says
Bruce Brumberg, founder and editor-in-chief of myStockOptions.com. "Our stock
option tools have been widely praised, and Human Resource Executive magazine
named them a product of the year. We are committed to offering the same
excellence for restricted stock and RSUs."
The new tools complement the extensive educational content on restricted
stock that myStockOptions.com has been publishing and updating since its
launch in 2000. The restricted stock tools carry the type of sophisticated yet
easy-to-use features that myStockOptions.com is well known for among
employees, advisors, and corporations.
myRecords For Restricted Stock
myRecords for restricted stock has its own presentation alongside the
original record-keeper for stock options, offering employees an online
statement of their equity compensation and wealth management. Users can:
* store and view grant data, including vesting dates
* enter a stock symbol to get a stock-price feed, letting the tool show
the current value of unvested and vested restricted stock
* model stock-price changes and "as of" dates to see total value and total
gain
* sort grants by next vesting date and grant date
* record whether the user made a Section 83(b) election to be taxed on the
value of the restricted stock at grant
* keep stock-price details at vesting and at sale for tax returns
These core features are available free to all registered users.
Enhancements for Premium Members include interactive pie-graphs that
illustrate and model the value of vested and unvested restricted stock. Custom
sites that myStockOptions.com builds for companies automatically import
employees' grant data and can specially handle performance-linked vesting and
performance shares.
Quick-Take Calculator
For Restricted Stock The Quick-Take Calculator for Restricted Stock lets
users interactively assess profits at vesting. Users can:
* view net gains at vesting, whether selling all the shares or selling
shares only to pay taxes
* model for increases and decreases in stock price
* personalize tax data for state and federal rates and year-to-date Social
Security
* see and easily print the tax breakdown
* edit the tax-withholding amounts
Special Premium features include interactive, animated bar-graphs that
illustrate the net gains and taxes, along with "what if" stock-price
increases. These let users easily compare net gains at different stock prices
and tax rates, with colorful on-screen presentation and printouts.
I Need The Money Calculator: Enhanced For Restricted Stock
Originally just for stock options, it has been enhanced to include
calculations for restricted stock and RSUs as well. In this dynamic tool,
users enter a required amount of after-tax money. Special features for
restricted stock let you know (1) whether you will have enough vested shares
in the future to equal the cash you need and (2) what stock price must be
reached. Users can also edit the tax-withholding, stock price, and "as of"
dates.
