    Dividends above higher rate of tax threshold.

    I need a rough guide as to how much tax I'm going to pay next year.

    Tax due = (Dividends taken above higher rate tax threshold) * X

    What is X? 0.25, 0.3?

    Ask in accounting and you might get a sensible answer

      X = Amount Earned
      Y = Rate of Tax
      Z = Declared Percentage

      I recommend you set z = 0

      So therefore

      tax = x*y*z

            Anyway, the search seems to be working so i found it in Accounting: x = 25% apparently.

                It gets complicated...

                However, there's a very slim chance of me hitting that this year - expecting to get canned in August, if not before and in a good year I'm well below.

                  IIRC it's 32.5%

                  Due to a weird interaction between the 40% tax band and the 10% tax credit on dividends

                    Try our dividend tax calculator. We made the higher rate band changed to it a while ago and it *should* be working correctly.
