Grant timeline

For long-term capital gains treatment when sold, your ISO shares need to be held until Apr 30, 2027 (2 years from grant). Sales before that are disqualifying dispositions: this tool models exercise-and-hold only. Want to see the whole picture? Try OptionsAhoy's beta: it optimizes ISOs alongside your entire portfolio, and you pick the goal: max value, cash flow, or minimum tax.

The AMT credit only recovers in years where regular tax exceeds AMT — typically a year with no ISO exercise. Every year in this schedule has bargain element, so AMT exceeds regular tax in every year and the credit carries forward untouched. Try a longer horizon or fewer total shares to introduce a recovery year.

Estimates only. Excludes disqualifying dispositions, NSOs, multi-state moves, and AMT preferences other than ISO bargain elements. Long-term capital gains tax assumes a qualifying disposition (ISO held ≥1 yr from exercise and ≥2 yr from grant); state LTCG follows ordinary brackets except where the state grants preferential treatment (HI, ND, SC, WI, AR, NM) or has a dedicated LTCG-only tax (WA). State AMT figures are 2025 (next-year values published in late 2026). Not financial advice.
