Clarity and Confidence for Your SpaceX Equity Compensation
Babin Wealth helps you understand what you have in your equity compensation plan, make smart decisions around it, and build a long-term plan that actually supports the life you want.
Why SpaceX Employees Come to Us
Equity is a powerful part of your compensation, but many SpaceX employees need help understanding how their RSUs, stock options, or ESPP fit into their bigger financial picture. Others come to us because they’re ready to make smarter decisions about taxes, investing, and long-term planning.
With Babin Wealth, you don’t have to guess your way through these decisions. You get clarity, structure, and a plan that’s built around your goals.
WHAT WE DO
Full Financial Planning & Ongoing Advisory
Babin Wealth offers full financial planning and ongoing advisory support. That means we help you organize your finances and build a long-term strategy that grows with your compensation.
This often includes:
Reviewing vested and unvested stock
Creating diversification strategies that reduce concentration risk
Building tax-efficient plans for vesting and exercises
Aligning savings, investing, and lifestyle goals
Adjusting your plan as compensation or life stages evolve
This isn’t one-time advice. It’s a long-term partnership to help you grow and protect your wealth.
SpaceX-Specific Equity Guidance
Your compensation includes multiple moving parts. We help you understand each component and how it fits into your financial strategy.
Purchase Offers
SpaceX typically provides one to two windows annually for shareholders to sell company stock. These moments can meaningfully impact liquidity, taxes, and long-term planning.
We guide clients through each offer, helping determine what to sell, what to hold, and how these decisions support their broader financial goals.
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
Vesting schedules vary, and each vesting event creates tax consequences.
We help clients make smart decisions around:
- Cash-flow impacts
- Tax timing
- Whether to hold or diversify
- How RSUs fit into long-term wealth building
Incentive Stock Options (ISOs)
ISOs can offer significant upside but they also introduce AMT considerations, expiration dates, and timing decisions.
We help determine:
- How many to exercise
- When to sell
- How ISOs fit into your total tax picture
- Whether upcoming purchase windows should influence your strategy
Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQSOs)
NQSOs follow different tax rules and usually include a multi-year vesting period.
We help clients decide:
- When to exercise
- How to manage tax impact
- How NQSOs complement RSUs, ISOs, and ESPP participation
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
SpaceX’s ESPP allows you to buy shares at a discount, a strong long-term wealth lever when used intentionally.
We help clients decide participation levels, diversification strategies, and how ESPP fits into broader financial goals.
Annual Merit Letter Review
These annual awards may include additional stock, options, or cash incentives.
We evaluate the impact of each year’s changes and integrate them into your long-term plan so your strategy evolves alongside your compensation.
Helping You Make Smarter Equity Decisions
Most SpaceX employees share a lot of the same questions, especially as income and equity grow:
When should I exercise my stock options?
Should I sell or hold my RSUs?
How do taxes impact timing?
What’s the right balance between concentrating and diversifying?
How do I plan for long-term growth without sacrificing today?
We can walk you through these decisions with clear explanations and tailored recommendations so you can move forward with confidence.
With Babin Wealth, you don’t have to guess your way through these decisions. You get clarity, structure, and a plan that’s built around your goals.
