Frequently Asked Questions
How are RSUs taxed?
RSUs are taxed as ordinary income when they vest. The value of the shares on the vesting date is added to your taxable income for the year, and you will owe federal, state, and payroll taxes on that amount.
What is the supplemental tax rate?
For many employees, companies withhold federal taxes on RSUs at the supplemental wage rate, which is typically 22% for amounts up to $1 million. If your actual marginal tax bracket is higher, you may owe additional taxes when you file your return.
Do I pay capital gains tax on RSUs?
You only pay capital gains tax on any increase in value after the vesting date. The value at vesting is taxed as income. If you hold the shares and they increase in price, the profit from the vesting price to the sale price is capital gains.
