Is amt really an issue if you’re high income swe? (especially if double high income). Seems like since trump’s “tax cuts” your normal rate will always be higher than (base + options * strike price)*.28 unless you really get a ton of options and there’s huge fmv growth.

It’s not options * strike price, it’s options * (fair market value - strike price), which is usually 0 at issue and is $$$ if you exercise and sell after an IPO (or after subsequent funding rounds/revenue growth which bumps up FMV).

Er botched the formula you’re correct
