About the Director Tax Engine
The Director Salary vs Dividend Optimization Engine was built to solve a specific problem: Accuracy.
Most online calculators are "black boxes". They spit out a number without explaining how they got there. They often ignore critical variables like:
- Marginal Relief for Corporation Tax.
- The Annual Earnings Period for Directors NICs.
- Student Loan repayment thresholds on dividend income.
We built this tool to be different. We built it to be transparent, precise, and optimised for the 2025/26 and 2026/27 tax years.
Our Philosophy: Trust Through Transparency
We don't just give you a number. We show you the math. Every calculation comes with a breakdown, and our How It Works guide explains the exact formulas used.
Data Accuracy
Our tax data is sourced directly from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and is updated within 48 hours of any Budget announcement.
- Current Tax Year: 2025/26 (Confirmed).
- Future Tax Year: 2026/27 (Forecast based on Autumn Budget statements).
