Unlock the potential of your equity compensation and build wealth.

Empower Your Financial Future: Master RSUs and ESPPs

Are you a young professional with stock options or an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)? Understanding these valuable benefits is crucial for maximizing your financial potential. We’ll guide you through the complexities of RSUs and ESPPs, providing clear explanations and actionable strategies to help you make informed decisions.

What are RSUs and ESPPs?

RSUs (Restricted Stock Units)

RSUs are a form of equity compensation, a promise from your company to give you shares of stock in the future. These shares are usually granted after you meet certain requirements, like working at the company for a certain amount of time (vesting). Understanding how vesting works and the tax implications is key to maximizing the value of your RSUs.

ESPPs (Employee Stock Purchase Plans)

ESPPs give you the opportunity to buy shares of your company’s stock at a discounted price, often through regular payroll deductions. This can be a fantastic way to build wealth and own a piece of the company you work for. Knowing the rules around holding periods and the difference between qualified and disqualifying dispositions is essential for making the most of your ESPP.
