Leaving is worth it only after you count what unvested equity you forfeit by going now. Compare new total comp, current total comp, and walk-away cost on the same timeline.

The verdict gives you three futures

Take it now: net gain over one year after walk-away cost.
Counter: what you would gain if you negotiate up 10% (editable).
Wait for your next cliff: net gain if you stay until your next large vest, then take the offer.

One number for each path. The verdict labels the outcome: take it, negotiate, decline, or wait for cliff.

Beyond money: growth, title, remote, stability, team

The calculator asks if the new role is better, same, or worse in five areas. You mark which of those actually matter to you. The weighted score combines money with the factors you care about, so if growth matters more than a $20,000 raise, the verdict reflects that.

Negotiation levers from your actual grants

The calculator reads your grant structure and surfaces leverage: underwater options suggest a repricing or RSU-swap ask, a cliff within 120 days suggests pushing your start date, unvested value over 25% of annual comp suggests a make-whole grant ask. The levers are deterministic rules, not guesses.

How to use this before you have an offer

You do not need an offer to get value. Enter your current package and the calculator shows:

Your number: minimum all-cash offer that beats staying
Golden exit windows: when walk-away cost is at its minimum
Handcuff decay curve: unvested value unlocking over 24 months

These insights work with zero offers. You will know what leaving costs before anyone pitches you.

Privacy

The equity math runs in your browser. Your comp numbers stay on your device to compute the verdict. The only thing that leaves by default is one signal when you complete a comparison (that a verdict was computed, no comp data). The optional AI advisor is separate, explicit, and disclosed before anything is sent. Full details on the privacy page.
