ISO with AMT pressure
1,000 vested shares, low strike, higher bracket
A common private-company planning case where the spread is meaningful and the AMT question matters more than the grant paperwork.
Result: Shows the up-front cash needed to exercise plus the estimated AMT drag before any liquidity arrives.
NSO at liquidity
Immediate-tax option exercise with a tighter spread
Useful when you mainly want a clean estimate of exercise cost, wage-style tax, and modeled sale proceeds.
Result: Highlights how much of the option spread turns into ordinary-income tax the moment you exercise.
RSU vest and hold
RSU value plus a smaller later capital-gains layer
Useful for employees trying to separate vesting tax from any later upside if the stock keeps appreciating.
Result: Separates the vesting-value tax hit from the later price appreciation estimate.
