Your equity
One stack per ticker (current-employer RSUs, prior-employer holdings, index fund, etc.). Each stack has its own current price, growth assumption, and cost-basis lots.

Estimates only. Not financial advice.
Lock-in-now is deterministic (0%). Plans that wait depend on future prices; risk is near-zero when inventory comfortably exceeds the goal. Volatility: each stack's option-implied vol if a ticker is set, otherwise 30%. Lognormal model; real markets have fatter tails.

Klaus Schauser and Jon Walker founded the company in Santa Barbara in 2006, selling cloud property management software to residential landlords and community associations. Revenue combines subscription seats with value-added services such as tenant screening, insurance, and electronic payments, the latter growing faster than the software itself. A legal practice management product was divested in 2019 to concentrate on real estate. Artificial intelligence leasing assistants extend the platform. Results follow rental unit counts under management rather than headcount at customers.

Equity comp at AppFolio
- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

If you hold vested AppFolio (APPF) shares and need a set amount of cash by a date (a house down payment, tuition, a sabbatical, a business buy-in), the question is which lots to sell and in which tax years to keep the most after tax. This calculator builds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your lots, accounting for federal long-term capital gains, the net investment income tax, and your state.

AppFolio equity questions
- How much APPF stock do I sell to fund a goal without overpaying tax?
- It depends on your cost basis, your target amount and date, and how the sale spreads across tax years. Selling vested APPF shares triggers long-term capital-gains tax, plus the 3.8% net investment income tax and state tax above certain income, and bunching a large sale into one year can push the gain into a higher bracket. The calculator above builds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your lots to net your target amount by your date.
- Does AppFolio grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at AppFolio typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do AppFolio RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. AppFolio restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
