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.

William Durant founded the company in 1908 as a holding company for Buick and assembled brands into the largest automaker for much of the twentieth century. It entered bankruptcy in 2009 and emerged after a federal rescue, shedding Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer, and Saab. Today it sells Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, and Buick, with full-size trucks and SUVs supplying most profit. Ultium electric platforms, the Cruise autonomous unit later folded into internal development, and OnStar services define the technology strategy. Headquarters are in Detroit.

General Motors equity questions
- How much GM 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 GM 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 General Motors grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at General Motors typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do General Motors RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. General Motors 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.
