Twist Bioscience ESPP: how it works and whether to max it

If Twist Bioscience offers an ESPP, here's how to value it against an RSU-heavy comp package.

About Twist Bioscience equity

Twist Bioscience (TWST, HQ CA) grants RSUs to employees and also runs an Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a quarterly vesting cadence.

Whether to max it

If Twist Bioscience's ESPP has a 15% discount with a lookback, participation is typically the highest-return use of cash available to you (roughly 17-30% pre-tax per offering period). The cap is the IRS $25,000 contribution limit per calendar year.
