How It Works — Plain-Language Formulas
Taxable RSU Income = Number of Shares × Fair Market Value at Vesting
Employer Withholding = Taxable Income × (Federal Withholding + State + FICA rates)
Estimated Total Tax = Taxable Income × (Federal Marginal Tax Bracket + State + Local + FICA rates)
Net Value After Taxes Owed = Taxable RSU Income − Estimated Total Tax
