Frequently asked questions

How is a dividend worked out?

A company declares it as a per cent of the share's paid-up value, Rs 100 on NEPSE. A 10% cash dividend on 100 shares is Rs 1,000.00, and a 5% bonus is 5 shares.

How much tax is there on a dividend?

5% of the cash dividend, and 5% of the bonus shares at their paid-up value: on the example above, Rs 50.00 and Rs 25.00, so Rs 925.00 reaches your bank. The company withholds it, and it is final: nothing more is due on the dividend.

Who pays the tax on bonus shares?

The company takes it out of the cash dividend. Where the cash does not cover it, shareholders pay the rest before the bonus shares are credited, which the calculator shows as what you pay in.

Is what I type sent anywhere?

No. The sums are worked out in your browser, and nothing you type leaves this page. They are a guide: your broker's bill and the company's notice are the final figures.
