Dilution Calculator for Your SmartPhone – iPhone, BlackBerry, Palm or Windows Mobile
I have stumbled upon a very useful, template-driven financial calculator, powerOne calculator, that allows you to program new templates and functions. As a first test of it I wrote a dilution calculator (code below). Feel free to copy and use this code for noncommercial purposes-you may use it freely and distribute it on an unpaid basis so long as you provide proper attribution to me: “© 2010. Edward A. Hauder’s www.edwardhauder.com. All Rights Reserved.”
I created this with powerOne calculator for iPhone. But, there are versions for BlackBerry, Palm and Windows Mobile, available at: http://www.infinitysw.com/products
You should be able to copy and paste the code below into the powerOne calculator after it is loaded onto your phone. I have not tried it on non-iPhones, so I’d welcome any feedback on those versions. But, once there, you’ll have a dilution function (or whatever you save it as) on your phone! (Yes, say it with me, we are equity plan geeks)
Here’s the template formula for dilution/dilution calculator:
“Shares Available for Grant” “” sag ::
“Granted and Outstanding Equity Awards” “” oea ::
“ESPP and ESOP Shares Available” “” eeshares ::
“Shares Requested” “” sr ::
“Common Shares Outstanding” “” cso ::
“Basic Dilution” “” bdilution:(sag+oea+sr)/cso% ::
“Fully-Diluted Dilution” “” fdilution:(sag+oea+sr)/(cso+sag+oea+sr)% ::
“Fidelity Dilution” “” fidelitydilution:(sag+oea+sr+eeshares)/(cso+sag+oea+sr+eeshares)%

If you use the dilution calculator, please let me know what you think. If there are things you like or don’t like, let me know…I just might re-program it. Also, if you have any suggestions on how it might be made better, please let me know.
I’m also working on another calculator for calculating Burn Rate – under both the RiskMetrics and traditional methodology which I hope to post in the next couple of weeks.
