How Total Comp & Total Cash work on the People List

When the Equity v2 setting is enabled on a company, the People list automatically shows two calculated columns: Total Cash and Total Comp. These are computed on the fly per employee, not stored.

Total Cash (in the employee's local currency):

co_salary + co_bonus + co_sign_on + benefits (any missing piece counts as 0)

Total Comp = this year's estimated equity vesting value + Total Cash. Because equity is valued in USD and cash can be in any currency, the calc normalizes through USD:

1. Estimate equity vesting this calendar year: (units vesting this year x current FMV) - exercise cost for those units
2. Convert Total Cash to USD using the cached exchange rate
3. Add the two together in USD
4. Convert the result back to the employee's local currency for display

A few things worth knowing:

• Total Comp only includes equity vesting in the current calendar year - not total grant value or lifetime equity.
• Equity value is net of exercise cost, so high-strike/out-of-the-money grants contribute less.
• FMV is a single company-wide value; changing it shifts everyone's Total Comp.
• For non-USD employees, the USD round-trip can produce small rounding differences (everything is rounded to 2 decimals).

When Equity v2 is turned OFF:

• The Total Cash and Total Comp (v2) columns are not calculated or displayed at all.
• Instead, the legacy Total Comp column is shown - the standard stored/imported total comp value (with range penetration support).
• In short: v2 off = legacy single Total Comp column, no Total Cash, no equity-based calculation.

How to hide one of the dynamic columns:
These columns only auto-appear when no column with that key already exists in the saved layout. To hide one, create a column on the FE using the exact key and set it to not visible:

• Total Cash -> key total_cash
• Total Comp -> key total_comp_equity_v2

The list will then skip auto-adding it and filter it out because it's marked not visible. To bring it back, set it visible again or delete the column so it regenerates with defaults.
