About Hims & Hers Health equity
Hims & Hers Health (HIMS, HQ CA) grants RSUs to employees and also runs an Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a quarterly vesting cadence.
Federal withholding at vest
Hims & Hers Health applies the standard federal supplemental withholding: 22% flat on RSU ordinary income, rising to 37% once year-to-date supplemental wages exceed $1M. Both rates are below the top bracket, which means high earners typically owe additional federal tax at filing.
State withholding
Because Hims & Hers Health is headquartered in CA, your state withholding defaults to that state unless your work location is recorded differently. If you moved during the grant-to-vest window, the state that taxes each tranche is determined by workday allocation, not by your HQ.
Quarterly estimates
Tech earners with meaningful Hims & Hers Health RSU income often need quarterly estimated payments in addition to payroll withholding. The safe-harbor rule (110% of prior-year tax, for AGI over $150k) usually determines the minimum you need to send per quarter to avoid an underpayment penalty.
