Dividend Calculator
Last updated: 2026-06-25
Gross dividend = price × dividend yield × shares (or dividend per share × shares), and the after-tax dividend is that amount minus the 15.4% dividend tax.
The 15.4% dividend tax = 14% dividend income tax + 1.4% local income tax, withheld at the time of payout.

How to calculate dividends and dividend tax
A dividend is money a company distributes to shareholders from its profits. The gross dividend can be found two ways. If you know the dividend yield, gross dividend = price × dividend yield × shares; if you know the dividend per share, gross dividend = dividend per share × shares.
| Item | Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Dividend income tax (base) | 14% | Charged on the dividend |
| Local income tax | 1.4% | 10% of the dividend tax |
| Total withholding rate | 15.4% | Auto-deducted at payout |
| Comprehensive financial income tax | Excess over 20M KRW/year | Combined with other income, progressive |
The after-tax dividend is the gross dividend × (1 − 0.154). For example, a 1,000,000 KRW gross dividend has 154,000 KRW withheld and you receive 846,000 KRW after tax. However, if your annual financial income (interest + dividends) exceeds 20 million KRW, the excess becomes subject to comprehensive taxation. To model long-term compounding of reinvested dividends, use the Compound Interest Calculator; for taxes overall, see the investing guide.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How much is the dividend tax?
The dividend tax on Korean stocks is 15.4%. This is the withholding rate combining the 14% dividend income tax and the 1.4% local income tax (10% of the dividend tax). It is withheld automatically when you receive dividends: after-tax dividend = gross dividend × (1 − 0.154).
How is dividend yield calculated?
Dividend yield (%) is the annual dividend per share divided by the current stock price. For example, at a 50,000 KRW price with a 2,500 KRW dividend per share, the yield is 5%. Gross dividend = price × yield × shares, or dividend per share × shares.
Are dividends subject to comprehensive taxation?
If your annual financial income (interest + dividends) exceeds 20 million KRW, the excess becomes subject to comprehensive financial income taxation, combined with other income at progressive rates. At or below 20 million KRW, the 15.4% withholding settles it as separate taxation. This calculator shows after-tax dividends on the separate-taxation (15.4%) basis.
What is the ex-dividend date?
To receive a dividend you must be on the shareholder register on the record date. On the next trading day, the right to the dividend disappears and the stock price tends to drop by roughly the expected dividend amount — this is the ex-dividend drop. So consider the post-ex-dividend price drop to judge your real return.
