How this calculator works
Dividends sit on top of non-dividend income. This calculator applies any unused standard personal allowance first, then the £500 dividend allowance, and then the 2026/27 ordinary, upper and additional dividend rates of 10.75%, 35.75% and 39.35%.
It assumes standard England, Wales and Northern Ireland income-tax bands and does not separately model savings income, property-income ordering rules, Scottish bands, pension contributions, reliefs, dividends received in different periods or all Self Assessment adjustments. Get advice where those factors matter.
