And what equity do you get for giving up 10k - Whats the cap table look like

I know that one FTSE 100 co's basic share option scheme is going to turn out >£60k tax free next year (its a 5 year scheme so say 10k pa) so it had better beat that.



Aren't share save scheme's more like employee stock option programs? Most large companies offer them and they are usually pure profit for the employee since you buy the stock at a discount.

If its like equity/option grants in tech companies, I assume it can vary significantly on how much you are given and is pretty customized to your compensation package? i.e. junior dev only gets $10K in shares (over 4 years) vs a senior dev that gets $50K.


You get options at a 20% discount - its fixed anyone can participate at the same level AC to PCGS its the same deal

But yes it is a one way bet the BT 5 year one due next year is on course to pay out £60k tax free - the UK has also just doubled the max amount you can put in to an approved scheme to £500/month.
