Option Pool Calculator

Size your option pool before your next round

Most founders pick a pool size because an investor suggested it. Work it out from your hiring plan instead, so the number you negotiate is one you can defend.

What's inside

  • Planned hires mapped to grant sizes
  • The pool you need over the next 18–24 months
  • Dilution from a pre- vs post-money pool
  • What each grant could be worth at exit

Made for founders raising a priced round.
