What is my projected value after 4 years? ``` **Response:** ``` $25,000.00 ``` **Prompt:** ``` Compare an annual cash of $150,000 against projected equity values of [$50k, $100k, $200k] over 4 years. ``` **Response:** ``` In the conservative scenario, your annualized equity is $12,500 (Delta: -$137,500). In the base scenario, it is $25,000 (Delta: -$125,000). In the optimistic scenario, it is $50,000 (Delta: -$100,000). ``` ## Capabilities ### Predicting Share Prices Calculates the estimated price per share if the company exits at a specific multiplier. ### Estimating Grant Value Determines the total projected liquid value of an entire equity grant, regardless of vesting schedule. ### Comparing Equity vs. Cash Compares your annualized equity value against annual cash compensation across three different financial scenarios. ## Use Cases ### Evaluating Competing Offers A Product Manager receives two job offers with vastly different compensation structures—one heavy on cash, one heavy on RSUs. They ask their agent to run both sets of numbers through the US Equity Compensation Calculator MCP, specifically using compare_equity_to_cash_annualized, to get a clear side-by-side comparison before making an offer decision. ### Forecasting Potential Sale Value An early-stage startup employee needs to know what their vested options might be worth if the company sells in 3 years. They feed the current 409A valuation and a projected exit multiple into get_exit_share_price to narrow down the potential share price range for negotiation. ### Understanding Total Grant Size You are offered a massive equity package but don't know how to calculate its total future value. By running your grant units through calculate_grant_projected_value, you get an immediate estimate of the full liquid potential, clarifying what the offer actually means. ## Benefits - It moves beyond simple salary comparisons. You can use calculate_grant_projected_value to see the total projected worth of your equity, not just its current book value. - Understand risk by comparing compensation types. The compare_equity_to_cash_annualized tool lets you model how your equity performs against cash across conservative, base, and optimistic scenarios. - Never guess about an exit event again. Use get_exit_share_price to calculate the potential share price based on various market multiples, giving you a solid range for negotiation. - It standardizes complex analysis. Instead of juggling multiple spreadsheets or consulting specialized financial models, your agent handles all the calculations in one place. - Saves deep research time. You can quickly model how different vesting schedules impact your total projected value without needing a dedicated finance analyst. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a single, comprehensive view of your total compensation package, making job negotiations data-driven instead of guesswork. 1. First, input the core metrics for the offer: your current 409A valuation, the number of grant units, and the expected exit multiplier. 2. Next, you instruct your agent to run the required calculations—for example, running a projection using calculate_grant_projected_value or comparing scenarios with compare_equity_to_cash_annualized. 3. The MCP returns clear, actionable figures showing your projected total equity value and how it stacks against guaranteed cash salary in specific financial models. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How does the US Equity Compensation Calculator MCP use get_exit_share_price?** The tool uses get_exit_share_price to predict what a share costs if the company exits.
