Evaluate your options

What are my offer options and what works best for me?
This tool will help you make sense of how equity works and how various growth scenarios affect your compensation. You'll be able to compare your best alternative option against your current offer. Although this section is most relevant when it comes to startup equity, it can still be helpful when evaluating equity offers from public companies.

What is your BATNA?

Your BATNA, full form for “Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement,” is the best option you are comparing this offer to. Edit the field in blue with your best 4 year total compensation of your top alternative offer.
