Pre-IPO assumption: Expected sale price assumes a liquid market at year N. In reality, pre-IPO shares clear via tender offers (priced at a discount to the 409A or last preferred round, on the company's calendar) or at IPO (subject to lockups). Use the haircut to reflect that uncertainty.

No bargain element. Current price is at or below the strike — no tax owed at exercise. Wait for the stock to appreciate past the strike before exercising.

Estimates only. Excludes AMT (NSOs do not trigger AMT), state-AMT, multi-state moves, and disqualifying-disposition edge cases. Not financial advice.

You calculated one NSO decision. The beta plans NSOs alongside RSUs and ISOs in a single multi-year tax plan.

authID Inc. equity questions

How is a authID 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 authID Inc. grant and compares selling the shares now against holding past the one-year mark for long-term capital-gains treatment.
Does authID Inc. grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at authID Inc. typically takes the form of incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options (NSOs). Incentive stock options can trigger the alternative minimum tax (AMT) when you exercise.
Are authID Inc. shares eligible for QSBS?
They might be. Qualified small business stock (QSBS) under Internal Revenue Code Section 1202 can exclude federal tax on much of the gain when shares were acquired at original issuance from a C-corporation while its gross assets were under $50 million, and held at least five years. Whether your authID Inc. shares qualify turns on when you acquired them and the company's asset size at that time.
