ShareholdingExplained provides general education about employment-related securities and how shares and options work in UK private companies. It is not tax, legal, financial or investment advice.

The simulator and offer checker use simplified assumptions and illustrative figures. They do not review your documents and cannot take account of your full circumstances. Real share structures, tax positions and reliefs vary, and the rules change.

Nothing on this site recommends that you buy, sell, exercise, hold or accept any investment or offer. For decisions like these, speak to a suitably qualified and, where required, regulated adviser.

Tax rates and rules shown are for UK residents and may change after each Budget.
