I&#x27;ve posted this in a previous thread about equity options, but I made this Google Docs spreadsheet that helps model the potential payout of various stock options: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;spreadsheets&#x2F;d&#x2F;1L-hwCRXKDwmOPqXCwQo4DM1cERYSgBIHM6Sp_Mye1Gc&#x2F;edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;spreadsheets&#x2F;d&#x2F;1L-hwCRXKDwmOPqXCwQo4...</a><p>You put in your equity percent and how the &quot;costs&quot; associated with it-- both exercise costs, and the &quot;opportunity&quot; costs such as smaller salary over X years, or unvested shares at current company--- and it spits out a grid of how much your options would be worth in various combinations of dilution and exit values.<p>I think it&#x27;d be a good addition to a guide like this but I&#x27;m not really sure how to best integrate something like this in a .md document or another page that will run inside github. Right now someone has to make a copy to their own Google account and mess with the inputs to use it, which is a bit cumbersome.<p>edit: went ahead and made a issue in GH for more detailed discussion rather than doing it here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jlevy&#x2F;og-equity-compensation&#x2F;issues&#x2F;27" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jlevy&#x2F;og-equity-compensation&#x2F;issues&#x2F;27</a>
