Dividend Tax Calculator

Your total income is above £100,000, so the personal allowance is tapering away: every £2 of extra income costs £1 of allowance. Between £100,000 and £125,140 the true marginal rate is far above the headline numbers, and worth planning around.
2026/27 rates, from 6 April 2026: £500 dividend allowance, then 10.75%, 35.75% and 39.35% by band. Income tax and National Insurance on the salary itself are not included. This is the arithmetic, not advice.
Take this calculator into Excel
The workbook version shows every step of the computation and adds a planner: the tax at eight dividend levels on top of your salary, with the personal allowance taper recomputed at each one, so you can see where the next slice of dividend actually lands before you declare it.

Fresh takes on business and accounting.
Company law allows accounts to run for 18 months; corporation tax never allows an accounting period longer than 12. Here is how the split is drawn.
The associated companies rules get more involved once a group has layers. Sub-subsidiaries, dormant holding companies and short accounting periods, worked through in a single example.
An acquisition partway through the year still counts as an associated company for the whole accounting period. What that does to your thresholds, and to your tax bill.
