What changes this most?
Dividends are stacked on top of other taxable income, so the allowance itself can use the last part of a basic-rate band before taxable dividends begin.
Sensitivity check
A roughly 10% move in taxable non-dividend income after allowances changes the modeled headline result by up to £750 in this setup.
2026/27 educational estimate. Dividend allowance-covered income still uses tax-band capacity. Enter taxable non-dividend income after allowances; unused Personal Allowance and savings-income interactions are not inferred.

Formula
Dividend income is stacked above entered taxable non-dividend income. The £500 dividend allowance is charged at 0% but still occupies tax-band capacity; dividends above it are charged at the 2026/27 dividend rates by band.
