Dividends Calculator

When a payment is made by a company to its shareholders, the payment that has been made is a share of the company's profits.

Starting from the 6th of April in 2016, the way in which tax is calculated in order to pay tax on dividends is being changed.

See the table below the calculator in order to see how annual gross amounts of income determine which tax rate applies.

Note that the currency for all of the calculations that you make below is in pounds sterling.

Updated April 2018: From 6 April 2018 the Dividend Allowance reduced from £5,000 to £2,000.

Updated April 2024: From 6 April 2024 the Dividend Allowance reduced from £1,000 to £500.
