About the Dividend Tax Calculator
Our dividend tax calculator helps company directors and shareholders understand their tax liability on dividend income. It calculates the combined tax on both salary and dividends, providing a clear picture of your total income and take-home pay after all deductions.
The calculator is particularly useful for limited company directors who take a combination of salary and dividends. It accounts for the tax-free dividend allowance, applies the correct dividend tax rates based on your total income, and calculates National Insurance on the salary portion only.
Remember that dividends can only be paid from company profits after corporation tax has been paid. The total tax efficiency of salary vs dividends depends on various factors including corporation tax rates, your personal tax position, and pension contributions. We recommend consulting with an accountant for personalised advice.
