Show HN: Total Compensation Calculator get more out of your startup equity (totalcompensationcalculator.com)

I always managed startup equity in google sheets, and tracking the different grants and vesting schedules just got really complex.

As I modeled different scenarios out and plugged in all the grants, it became obvious there was value in a more structured way of visualizing things - a better way to compare offers at different companies, understanding tax implications, getting a sense of future equity cliffs.

This is an MVP and you'll notice there are only a few states supported so far (California and New York for example)for the tax scenarios, as well as different tax situations like married filing separate or itemized deductions. This was a project inspired by some of SecFi's tools - but I wanted a bit more control over how to present the data. Another way to improve would be to integrate with Carta to avoid inputting grants manually. In general, this is what I've always wanted - a single URL I visit now if I receive another equity grant or want to understand different exit scenarios at a private company.
