Calculating Cap Table Percentages
How to calculate outstanding and fully diluted percentages
The formulas below show how to calculate the following outstanding and fully diluted percentages using our Capitalization Table endpoint:
- Outstanding percentage for a share class
- Fully diluted percentage for a share class
- Fully diluted percentage for non-purchased RSAs
- Fully diluted percentage for options, RSUs, and SARs
- Fully diluted percentage for a warrant block
Note: We do not recommend that you display either Total Outstanding Percentage or Total Fully Diluted Percentage, as these values will always be 100%. If you must display them, we suggest that you either show "100%" or calculate the values using identical numerators and denominators of
summary
:outstandingShares
for Total Outstanding andsummary
:fullyDilutedShares
for Total Fully Diluted.
We have included a sample response at the bottom of this page for reference. You can also use our mock service to generate a capitalizationTable response without needing authentication by calling https://mock-api.carta.com/v1alpha1/issuers/7/capitalizationTable.
