Sell every share immediately; invest the after-tax cash at the market return for 1 yr, then liquidate. Diversified — no single-stock concentration risk.

| Sale proceeds (year 1) | |

| Net at year 1 | $178,216 |
Sold 2,679 shares at exercise to cover strike + tax; 2,321 shares held 1 yr for LTCG.
Social Security + Medicare are payroll taxes (collectively called FICA) — they apply because you're exercising as a current employee.
Both columns are stated in year-1 dollars: sell-now proceeds compound at the market return and pay LTCG on the gain at year 1; any cash paid out of pocket on the hold side carries the same opportunity cost.
Net at year N — by hold period

About Amesite Inc.
Amesite Inc. (AMST) is a public Cloud/SaaS company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Detroit, MI.
Equity grants at Amesite Inc. typically include incentive stock options (ISOs), non-qualified stock options (NSOs), and restricted stock units (RSUs).
Ann Marie Sastry founded Amesite in Detroit on November 14, 2017, and took it public on Nasdaq in September 2020, raising $15 million in an initial public offering (IPO) priced at $5 per share. Originally an AI-driven online course platform sold to universities and corporations, Amesite has since shifted focus to NurseMagic, a mobile app that automates nursing documentation (patient care notes) and gives nurses AI-generated guidance on medications and workplace situations, sold both directly to nurses and to healthcare facilities. The company reported $108,050 in quarterly revenue and $1.2 million in cash as of its latest SEC filing.

Equity comp at Amesite Inc.
- Amesite operates three distinct equity instruments simultaneously: (1) stock options for employees with a vesting period that changed from 2 years in FY2023/FY2024 to 4 years in FY2025, all with 10-year terms; (2) annual RSU grants to directors (worth $100,000 per year) that vest on the one-year anniversary of grant; and (3) a Deferred Fee Plan for Directors under which outside directors may take their quarterly cash retainer as deferred stock units (DSUs, shares issued in lieu of cash that are held and delivered at a future date) instead, with settlement deferred until the director leaves the board or a change in control occurs. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan provides no automatic acceleration upon a change in control at the plan level; acceleration requires explicit language in individual award agreements.
- Vesting schedule: Employee stock options shifted from 2-year vesting (no cliff documented) in FY2023/FY2024 to 4-year vesting in FY2025. Director RSUs vest on the one-year anniversary of grant..

Amesite Inc. equity questions
- How is a Amesite Inc. NSO exercise taxed?
- Exercising a non-qualified stock option (NSO) creates ordinary income on the bargain element (the price on the day you exercise minus your strike), subject to federal income tax, state income tax, and FICA. The calculator above computes that tax for your Amesite Inc. grant and compares selling the shares now against holding past the one-year mark for long-term capital-gains treatment.
- Does Amesite Inc. grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Amesite Inc. typically takes the form of incentive stock options (ISOs), non-qualified stock options (NSOs), and restricted stock units (RSUs). Incentive stock options can trigger the alternative minimum tax (AMT) when you exercise. Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
