Free UK dividend tax calculators for directors, investors and basic/higher rate taxpayers. All reflect 2026/27 rates and the £500 dividend allowance.
Each calculator here answers a slightly different question. The main dividend tax calculator works out what you owe once dividends stack on top of your other income. The director calculator handles a salary-plus-dividends mix, the investor and higher-rate tools focus on portfolio income, and the allowance calculator shows how the £500 tax-free dividend allowance applies before any tax is charged.
All of them use the 2026/27 dividend tax rates: 10.75% within the basic-rate band, 35.75% in the higher-rate band, and 39.35% on dividend income above £125,140. Because dividends are taxed after your salary and other income, the rate you pay depends on which band the dividends fall into once everything is added together — so the same dividend can be taxed partly at one rate and partly at the next. Start with the calculator closest to your situation, then use the others to compare scenarios.
