Severance & Exit Review

Change-of-Control Multiple Benchmark Workbook

Enter your change-of-control package — severance, accelerated equity, benefits, and any gross-up terms — and the workbook expresses it as a multiple of your base plus bonus, then places that multiple against the commonly disclosed 2.0x–2.99x peer band drawn from published severance studies. A Section 280G estimator takes your entered base amount, computes the 3x threshold, totals your parachute payments, and flags whether you cross into the 20% excise-tax zone, with a side-by-side cutback-vs-gross-up comparison of net-to-executive outcomes. Peer-band framing is drawn from named public sources; the 280G figures and your own package terms are numbers you supply, computed exactly as entered and warranted by no one but you.
