Double-trigger RSUs: what's vested, and what isn't settled

Most private-company RSUs are double-trigger: shares are typically delivered only when BOTH conditions are met: your time-based vesting AND a liquidity event such as an IPO or acquisition. This tool maps the time-vesting side from your own grant terms. The second trigger has no schedule anyone can calculate.

The two triggers, factually

Trigger one is time: the schedule below. Trigger two is a liquidity event, typically an IPO, direct listing, or acquisition, as defined in your plan. Until both occur, time-vested double-trigger RSUs are usually not settled into shares and are typically forfeited if they never both occur.

Enter a whole share count, a valid start date, and a cliff no longer than the schedule to see the time-vesting timeline.
