When you have multiple types of grants, e.g. stock options and restricted stock units, you can see the values for all your unvested and vested stock grants both individually by grant type and in total on one interactive screen or printout. This gives you a unified look at the value of the stock grants provided by your company.
You can access your stock grant data and use our tools with a web browser on any computer, anywhere in the world, at any time. We use industry-recognized security safeguards, including TLS encryption, to keep your financial data fully secure.
For companies (and stock plan service providers) we can customize all the calculators and tools on myStockOptions.com to fit stock plans, employee culture, and corporate goals. With special custom versions of myStockOptions.com, companies can:
- import their employee stock-plan data into the online portfolio-tracker
- post their stock-plan documents
- tailor the extensive educational content, including articles and FAQs on employee stock purchase plans, to the specifics of their plans
- further modify the site to fit their look and feel
On these custom websites, stock option and restricted stock grant data can be imported into a secure (user names and passwords are protected) online viewing system, so manual entry is not needed.
Money advises optionholders to use the online portfolio-tracker on myStockOptions.com to monitor their option-grant details, such as exercise prices and expiration dates.
For financial advisors, CPA Wealth Provider recommended the financial-planning tools of myStockOptions.com by selecting the website among companies "that have taken the lead through innovation, efficiency, initiative, or growth in the financial-planning area."

NEW! Our new website myNQDC.com is the only online educational resource devoted exclusively to nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plans. These are often used alongside stock plans for senior executives and key employees. With clear writing and independent, unbiased expertise, myNQDC.com provides education about the financial planning, taxation, risk, and legal issues surrounding nonqualified deferred compensation. It encourages participants to fully understand these topics and maximize the value of their plans. The website includes:
- Articles on the full range of topics in nonqualified deferred compensation
- FAQs with concise yet detailed answers on all aspects of NQDC
- Glossary of key terms
- Fun interactive quizzes to test and further your NQDC knowledge
- Podcasts on NQDC basics and taxation
- NQDC calculator and modeling tool
The site appeals to plan participants, plan providers and administrators, financial advisors, attorneys, and companies with NQDC plans. The tax-deferral advantages of NQDC make these plans increasingly popular, especially given the annual contribution limits of 401(k) plans. NQDC plans let participants save more for retirement and other life goals than they could through qualified plans alone, though they carry complexities and risks, as our new site explains.
myNQDC.com offers individual and group memberships, along with licensing its educational content for other websites and print materials.
All of our tools can be built into our custom stock plan sites, and we can develop special tools for your employee stock purchase plan.
