Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

What Is An Employee Stock Purchase Plan?

An Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is a company benefit that allows employees to purchase company stock at a discounted price. This plan is designed to incentivize employees to invest in the company's success and benefit from its growth.

Understanding ESPP

Employees contribute a portion of their paycheck to the plan, and the accumulated funds are used to purchase the company's stock at the end of a set period. 

The discount offered can be a percentage of the market price or a fixed discount determined by the company.

Advantages of ESPP

ESPPs offer several advantages to both employees and employers. Employees have the opportunity to invest in their company's success, benefit from discounted stock prices, and align their interests with the company's. 

Employers can use ESPPs to attract and retain talented employees, incentivize employees to work towards the company's goals, and provide tax benefits.
