Calculates UK dividend tax for 2025/26. Dividends stack on top of other income after the £500 Dividend Allowance and are taxed at 8.75% (basic), 33.75% (higher) and 39.35% (additional).
A higher-rate taxpayer receiving £10,000 in dividends (2025/26): the first £500 is covered by the Dividend Allowance and the remaining £9,500 is taxed at 33.75% = £3,206.25.
£500. Dividends within this allowance are taxed at 0%; only dividends above it are taxed.
8.75% within the basic-rate band, 33.75% in the higher-rate band and 39.35% in the additional-rate band. Dividends are stacked on top of your other income.
Dividends are treated as the top slice of income, so salary and other income are taxed first and determine which band the dividends fall into.
