I’ve just joined ACN and looking into the ESPP - is it worth it? Does having 15% off automatically make it a no brainer?

It’s a no brainer. 15% free money. Do it.

It might not be relevant for you but as it comes out of your pre tax pay it can help come below certain thresholds for example access to tax free childcare

I believe so if your profits are over the allowance (£3k)

But how about tax, fees etc?

Half of 15% free money, so.
It's still free money.

When do you pay tax? When you purchase the shares or when you sell them? Or both?

When you purchase them.

You probably won’t have to pay much savings tax when you sell them, if at all. Depends on how much money you made selling them.

What percentage of your salary should you put towards it?

Whatever you feel comfortable with. I put in 10%. The more free money the better.

I would’ve thought you get taxed when you sell? How do you get taxed at purchase?

What would be better - share withholding or paying it as a deduction?

Also is there anything else to consider, e.g. fees? Etc

So share withholding is better than automatic tax deductions?

Is it true that overtime payments/bonuses automatically go towards buying shares?

Yes it’s % off your pre tax income for that month so on bonus month you contribute more to the shares pot. It’s automatic so you can’t stop it

Do you also get dividends with ESPP?

Once you own the shares, yes

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?
