# Compute First-Year Cliff and Monthly Equity Share Vesting — Free

Evaluating startup and corporate compensation offers requires understanding equity vesting mechanics, where headline share figures are locked behind a mandatory one-year cliff. Enter your equity grant tranches, total awarded shares, and vesting schedules to calculate the exact share volume released on your first anniversary.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Tech workers, executives, and startup employees evaluating compensation offer equity grants.

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked vesting-cliff schedule run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent vesting-cliff schedule app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the vesting-cliff schedule with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed shares and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups
