Understanding Your Canva Options

As a Canva employee, your stock options represent a significant portion of your total compensation. With the company valued at $40B as of its latest funding round (Late Stage), the potential value of your options depends on the company's trajectory toward a liquidity event.

Before you can realize any value from your options, you need to exercise them — paying the exercise (strike) price per share plus any taxes. For ISOs, the primary concern is the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). For NSOs, the spread is taxed as ordinary income at exercise.

Typical Exercise Costs at Canva

With an estimated FMV of ~$40 per share, the bargain element on your options can be significant. Use our free calculator above to see your exact estimated costs based on your specific option details, income, and state of residence.

Financing Options

If the exercise cost plus taxes exceeds what you can comfortably fund from savings, stock option financing can help. Optioning offers non-recourse financing — if Canva stock ultimately has no value, you owe nothing.
