Equity pool calculator

The ratified structure, live. Four equal founders; a 20% Initial Reserve carved across three tiers. Move any lever and watch where the equity goes. If the tiers ask for more than the founders have left over, the overflow comes straight out of the founders — equally — and the calculator shows you.

Founders (×4, equal)

Tier 1 — Lead Contributor (1 role, 10% cap)

Tier 2 — Specialists (2 roles, 2.5% standard)

Tier 3 — Pools (5% total)

Unreserved (whatever the 20% reserve hasn't granted, any tier)
Founders combined

Assumptions carried from the consolidated draft (July 2026): 10,000 ordinary shares; four equal founders on 3-year reverse vesting with a 12-month cliff; Initial Reserve of 20% carved equally from founders (5% each) as tiers fill; Tier 1 base is time-vested, milestone tranches are earned per the milestone menu and capped at 10% combined; Tier 2 roles are value/milestone-based at 2.5% standard; Tier 3 pool is 5% standard; anything of the 20% reserve not granted in any tier accumulates as Unreserved. Anything beyond the 20% reserve is a Post-Initial-Reserve dilutive issuance — a reserved matter needing 75% founder approval, with drag-along binding the whole pool. SAFE money (up to $500K) sits outside this view. Not legal or tax advice.
