Our Methodology

Our Dividend Tax calculator follows the latest 2024/25 HMRC tax rules for dividends. It accounts for the personal allowance (£12,570) and the tax-free dividend allowance (£500).

We assume your salary and other income use the personal allowance first. Any remaining personal allowance is then applied to your dividends before tax rates are determined based on your total income bands.
