Standard Life - Salary Versus Dividend - Additional Information

Assumptions and Notes:

Return to Input
The calculation makes the following assumptions:
  1. that no account has been taken of the loss, if any, of state benefits that may arise from choosing dividend rather than salary.
  2. for the purposes of this calculator, the year chosen relates to the income received in the fiscal year for the employee (6 April to 5 April), and the profits made by the company in the financial year (1 April to 31 March), ie it is assumed that the salary earned to the 5 April is an expense relating to the profits for the financial year ending 31 March.
  3. that the company is not in receipt of dividends from other UK companies. If this is the case the calculation becomes more complex and is outwith the scope of this calculator.
  4. the Company pre-tax profits is the gross company profit available for distribution as salary or dividends.
Please note:

Tax relief may be altered and its value depends on the individual's financial circumstances.

This calculator does not take account of the proposed changes to the Personal Allowance announced by the Chancellor on 13 May 2008 as not enough information has been disclosed.

Limitations:

Return to Input
