Use our RSU Tax Calculator to estimate the UK tax payable when your Restricted Stock Units vest. ESDG Accountancy created this calculator for technology employees. It estimates the Income Tax and National Insurance due when RSUs vest. The result can help you understand your remuneration package. In addition, it may inform discussions about RSU awards and salary.
Employers normally account for RSU tax through payroll. Therefore, they usually calculate and withhold tax when the units vest. Importantly, vested RSUs can attract your marginal tax rate. National Insurance and student loan deductions may also apply. Consequently, the effective deduction can be significant.
This calculator considers income tax rates in the UK as at August 2024 for the 2024/25 tax year.
Our RSU tax guide explains how vested RSU’s and disposals of RSU’s are taxed.
