Startup Equity Split Calculator

The Slicing Pie Equity Split Calculator helps startup founders calculate a fair equity split based on what each person actually contributes. It tracks contributions in real time and automatically calculates each team member’s fair share.

How the Startup Equity Split Calculator Works

The Slicing Pie startup equity calculator uses a dynamic equity formula to create a fair equity split for early-stage, bootstrapped startups. Unlike traditional fixed equity splits, it adjusts ownership based on what each participant actually contributes over time.

The Pie Slicer applies the Slicing Pie formula as outlined in the book Slicing Pie and The Slicing Pie Handbook.

Track Every Contribution to Your Startup Equity Split

. Keep track of time, expenses, supplies, equipment, royalties on ideas, commissions on sales and any other contribution an individual could make.

Contributions can be set to repeat at regular intervals. Set a monthly rent contribution or a weekly payroll, for instance.

Manage Access and Monitor Contributions.

Team members can submit their own contributions through their own account. Pie administrators can manage what individual users can see or do in the Pie Slicer. For instance, the Employee setting allows the user to see only their own contributions while the Executive setting allows the user to see all contributions.

Pie administrators can allow someone to enter contributions directly or require approval before slices are added.

Track Cash Investments in Your Startup

The Well feature allows the team to track cash investments in the company. When money is invested it is held in the Well. When money is drawn from the Well to cover company expenses, the Pie Slicer allocates slices to each participant in the Well according to their share. 

The Well helps prevent unnecessary equity allocations by only calculating slices when investment funds are consumed.

Customize Your Startup Equity Rules.

The Pie Slicer's default settings are set to reflect best practices for fairness as outlined in the Slicing Pie books. However, variables can be changed to reflect your industry norms or company policy.

For example, Pie administrators can edit commission and royalty rates, set up their own project categories or determine how to calculate mileage rates.

Create Clear Equity Reports for Due Diligence

The Pie Slicer includes logs, reports and charts based on the team's contributions providing valuable insight for managers and potential investors. 

Gain a deeper understanding of how your team is spending their time, investing their cash, and consuming other inputs such as supplies or equipment.

Handle departures fairly while protecting the interests of the company.

When someone leaves the company, the Pie Slicer will help calculate the fair buyout price and re-allocate slices depending on the circumstances of the separation.

Slicing Pie protects the interests of both the company and the individual employees. Being fair to ex-employees is as important as being fair with employees.

Keep Your Startup Cap Table Fair and Up to Date!

With Slicing Pie, your cap table always shows the fairest split no matter what changes. All other models and online tools create one-off, fixed equity splits based on estimates and guesses.

Slicing Pie is the only equity model that guarantees a perfectly fair split.

100% FAIRNESS GUARANTEE

Slicing Pie works. It creates a fair equity split, it prevents equity disputes, and it sets your team up for success. Since publishing the first description of the model in 2010, it has been used by startups all over the world. The books have been translated into many languages and thousands of companies have used this software. In all that time, we have never heard of a single company that failed because they used Slicing Pie. That's a pretty good track record considering that we've seen estimates that as many as 67% of companies who fail do so because of founder disputes.

If your team implements Slicing Pie as described in the books and software and it does not deliver on it's promise of fairness, we will happily refund your money and apologize for wasting your time.

    Hi Mike

    How do I manage/run multiple pies? I see your plans only include one pie. Suppose I would need to sign up with different email and create a separate account for each pie required?

    Thanks

    Ryan
