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.

About Micron
Micron (MU) is a public Semiconductors company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Boise, ID.
Equity grants at Micron typically include restricted stock units (RSUs).
Micron Technology, Inc. is an American multinational semiconductor company that manufactures computer memory and computer data storage products, including dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), flash memory, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), and solid-state drives (SSDs). Founded in 1978 in Boise, Idaho, Micron is the only major American computer memory manufacturer. It is one of the "Big Three" computer memory manufacturers, along with the South Korean companies Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

Four Boise engineers started the company in a dentist office basement in 1978, backed by local potato magnate J.R. Simplot. It is now one of three memory makers left at scale, alongside Samsung and SK Hynix, selling DRAM and NAND flash into datacenters, phones, and cars, plus consumer SSDs under the Crucial brand. The business is famously cyclical: memory pricing swings drive revenue and margins far more than share gains do. Micron bought out its Intel partnership stake in IM Flash and Inotera in Taiwan, and remains the only US-headquartered maker of both DRAM and NAND.

Equity comp at Micron
- 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 Micron (MU) 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.

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