What PFU means here
PFU is the flat-tax route for the capital gain made after definitive acquisition. At the current inputs it combines 12.8% income tax and 18.6% social levies.
The acquisition gain is separate and remains on the progressive income-tax scale under the qualified-RSU rules modeled here.
The progressive option is global for eligible investment income and gains for the year, not an election made only for this RSU sale.
Marginal bracket exposure
Each marker uses taxable income per tax share.
A 0% band is shown only when modeled taxable income per tax share is at or below 11 600 €. PFU capital gains stay outside this indicator; taxable acquisition gains remain included.
