Step 2: Select Income Tax Bracket

  • Identify the drop-down menu labeled Income Tax Bracket.
  • Choose the appropriate tax bracket from the options available, which ranges from 10% to 37%.
  • Your choice should reflect the tax bracket you fall into based on your other income.

Step 3: Choose Dividend Type

  • Find the selection menu for Dividend Type.
  • Select Qualified Dividends if your dividends meet IRS requirements for reduced tax rates.
  • If not, select Ordinary Dividends.

Step 4: View Results

  • Once all inputs are provided, the calculator will automatically determine the following:
  • Effective Tax Rate: The applicable tax rate for your dividends will be displayed. Qualified dividends can benefit from a reduced tax rate depending on your income bracket.
  • Tax Amount: This field will show the amount of tax that will be applied to your gross dividends, calculated using the effective tax rate.
