| Bargain element (sale − strike) | $8,800 |
| Federal | |
| State | |
| Medicare | −$128 |
| Additional Medicare | −$79 |

Sell every share immediately; invest the after-tax cash at the market return for 1 yr, then liquidate. Diversified — no single-stock concentration risk.
Exercise + hold 1 yr
Best payout| Sale proceeds (year 1) | |
| LTCG tax (federal + state + NIIT) | −$7,927 |
| Net at year 1 | $25,384 |
Sold 4,566 shares at exercise to cover strike + tax; 434 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

Equity comp at Dataiku
- Dataiku was founded in Paris, France in 2013 and operates a US entity (Dataiku Inc.) incorporated in Delaware. French employees may receive BSPCEs (bons de souscription de parts de createur d'entreprise, a French employee stock warrant with favorable long-term capital-gains treatment under French tax law) rather than US-style RSUs or ISOs. US-based employees receive equity through standard US grant instruments. The dual French-US structure means equity instrument type and tax treatment can vary materially by employee country of employment.

Dataiku NSO exercise creates ordinary income on the bargain element (federal, state, and FICA) at the price on the day you exercise. The calculator works at any valuation, so you can model your exercise cost at the current 409A FMV, an expected IPO price, or post-IPO scenarios.
Example: at Dataiku's last reported price of $11.76, exercising 5,000 NSOs with a $3.53 strike creates a $41,150 bargain element, taxed as ordinary income on the day you exercise. Combined federal + state + FICA on that bargain typically lands between $11,111 and $18,518 depending on your bracket and state. The calculator above computes the exact figure for your situation and compares selling now vs. holding through the long-term capital-gains threshold.

Dataiku equity questions
- How is a Dataiku 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 Dataiku grant and compares selling the shares now against holding past the one-year mark for long-term capital-gains treatment.
- Does Dataiku grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Dataiku 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 Dataiku 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 Dataiku shares qualify turns on when you acquired them and the company's asset size at that time.
