How We Calculate This
Calculation Formulas
- Gross Dividends (£) = Number of shares × Annual dividend per share (p) ÷ 100
- Taxable Dividends (£) = max(0, Gross dividends − Dividend allowance)
- Dividend Tax (£) = Taxable dividends × Tax rate (based on your band)
- Net Dividends (£) = Gross dividends − Dividend tax
- Current Yield (%) = Annual dividend per share ÷ Current price × 100
- Yield on Cost (%) = Annual dividend per share ÷ Average buy price × 100
- DRIP: On each payment, new shares = floor((Net payment − Fee) ÷ Price at payment)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this official Lloyds data?
No—this is an educational calculator. You control all assumptions. See our links to Lloyds' official dividend page and reputable data sources above.
How often does Lloyds pay dividends?
Typically semi-annual (interim around September, final around May), but amounts and dates can change. Check DividendMax for the latest calendar.
How is UK dividend tax applied?
We apply the selected tax year's allowance (£500 in 2025/26) and then the current dividend tax rates for your band (Basic 8.75%, Higher 33.75%, Additional 39.35%). ISAs and SIPPs are tax-free. Source: Which?
Does the DRIP guarantee higher returns?
No. DRIP increases share count mechanically through reinvestment, but future price and dividend changes affect results. It's a projection tool, not a guarantee.
Where do the example dividends come from?
From public summaries like StockAnalysis. You can override any assumption with your own data.
