Understanding ESOP Taxation
Employee stock options are taxed at two different stages, depending on your actions and holding period.
Exercise Your Options
When you exercise, you pay the grant price and receive shares worth the current FMV. The difference (FMV - Exercise Price) is taxed as perquisite income at your marginal tax rate.
Hold Your Shares
The holding period determines whether your future gains qualify as short-term or long-term capital gains. Different countries have different thresholds — typically 1 to 3 years.
Sell Your Shares
When you sell, any appreciation above the FMV at exercise is taxed as capital gains. Long-term holdings typically get a lower rate. Plan your exit to minimize total tax impact.

Track vesting schedules, understand tax implications, access grant documents, and know your equity's real worth — all in one place.
