I'm attempting to write a formula to calculate the amount of vested equity based on award date and current date.

If award date is 1/1/2013 for 50,000 units than on 1/1/2014 25% have vested. The remaining 75% will vest on a quarterly bases. I'd like it updated in real time based on today's date.

I'm not even sure where to start with this one, right now I'm entering everything by hand doing the calculations monthly, but there is too much room for human error.

Thanks!

Adding on with another, similar question.
I'm not an expert excel professional so extra details are welcomed:)

I'm trying to calculate the amount of stock that will be vested as of a specific date, and the number of stock that will vest within sequential calendar years, Much like the original author, I'm doing this all by hand now and it's just gotten to be too much and invites human error. I'm also not even sure where to start. Below i'm including the kind of data I have and what I need to fill in (see blank columns). We have several different vesting schedules. Listed a few below; the one in blue text is the most commonly used.. Any ideas/support would be appreciated.

@Dave Patton Thank you so much for the quick and thorough reply, and the great questions. Answering your questions below & have a few follow up questions. This is already much farther along than I have been able to get to myself so thank you!
I got an error when I tried to download the forum's tool, XL2BB. I can try again, but if you have any tips i'll take them.

What number are vested? Your formulas produced the correct values for John for G:M
Do the shares vest in fractional units? They do not. Just whole shares
What is effective date? The "effective date" is a particular date that we want to calculate the total number of vested shares. For John in the example you mapped out, if the effective date was 16 Nov 2023, his total number of vested shares would be 833 as of 16 Nov 2023. In that calculation John would have vested 20% of the 1020 shares on 16 Oct 2020, and then 17 shares each month after that until 16 Nov 2023.
What is the number of shares for the calculation? you got this correct - it's B4
What date does the calculation begin? You made the correct assumption in your calculation. It begins on the Vesting Start Date

Follow up questions:
  1. Is there a way to create one formula for G:M that is dynamic based on the Vesting start date? for example, if I use 16 Sept 2020 as the vesting start date in your formula, it incorrectly calculates the shares that will vest in 2020 as 255, when it should be zero
  2. For F4, what formula could I use to calculate the total number of shares that vest by a date that's listed in E4 (see comments to question" what is effective date")?

@Dave Patton this worked! I am so impressed. Thank you for the support, and for mapping things out so clearly. It was really easy to follow along with your thinking by the way you outlined the formulas in each cell. I'm going to play around with this formula and the other vesting schedules we have and see if I can piece together a solution that will apply a different formula based on the specific vesting schedule we have for each equity grant.

And thank you for the link on downloading XL2BB - I have it downloaded and ready for future use!

One final question if you're open to sharing. Are there any resources you'd recommend for someone who is trying to be more self sufficient in excel?
I've got a good handle on aspects of Excel like Vlookups and basic functions, I understand the basics of macros and power query, but I'm not proficient in all of the excel functions, and sometimes I'm not exactly sure how to piece the different functions together like you did in this example. I plan to stay close to this forum for learning, but if you have any other tips I'd love them!

@Dave Patton - Opps just found something after I hit send on my last reply. Column I (the amount of shares vesting each month), incorrectly subtracts the inital vesting on year one from the total shares, and then divides by the "##th" in column D. This calculation here should just be the total Shares/the "##th" in column D. So for row 4 the monthly vesting would be B4(total shares)/60 (months) =17 shares vested per month. Think I can just update the formula for I4 to be =INT((B4)/TEXTAFTER(TEXTBEFORE(D4,"th"),"/"))
See any concerns with that change?

The calculation depends on the exact wording of the vesting document.
1/60 implies 60 amounts.
If we do not deduct the initial amount, the 17 would allow only 48 payments.
