How do most startups quantify a month's worth of equity? Is there an obvious formula based on current valuation?

Presumably it's his equity divided by 12 months times 3.5.

It is the # of shares the offered me divided by my total restricted stock agreement. This represents the total % of equity they are granting me after letting me go, then I multiply this by 48 (because my equity grant vests over 48 months). The results is about 3.5 months.

How much equity (%)? Curious as I'm looking at first employee position offer at 2.5 and nOt thrilled.

I'd prefer not to state publicly but you can email me [e-mail] (another dummy account I made).
