Tesco Dividend History and Yield Basics
Tesco PLC typically pays dividends twice a year: an interim dividend (usually announced with half-year results) and a final dividend (announced with full-year results). The dividend yield is a key metric for income investors, calculated by dividing the total annual dividend per share by the current share price and expressing it as a percentage.
Formula: Dividend Yield = (Total Annual Dividend per Share ÷ Share Price) × 100

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tesco dividend calculator and how does it work?
The Tesco dividend calculator is a free online tool that helps you estimate your potential dividend income from Tesco PLC shares. Simply enter your number of shares (or investment amount) and the calculator uses Tesco's current interim and final dividend rates to show your expected annual income, payment breakdown, and dividend yield percentage.
How is Tesco's dividend yield calculated?
The TSCO dividend yield is calculated by dividing the total annual dividend per share by the current share price, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. For example, if Tesco pays 11.95p total annual dividend and the share price is 350p, the yield would be (11.95 ÷ 350) × 100 = 3.41%.
How often does Tesco pay dividends?
Tesco typically pays dividends twice per year. The interim dividend is usually paid around December, following the half-year results announcement. The final dividend is typically paid in June or July, after the full-year results and AGM. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive each payment.
Does this calculator use live Tesco share prices?
No, this calculator does not fetch live share prices. The share price field is pre-filled with a sensible default value, but you should enter the current TSCO share price manually for accurate results. You can find the latest Tesco share price on the London Stock Exchange or financial news websites.
Is this Tesco dividend calculator accurate?
This calculator provides estimates based on the dividend and share price values you enter. Actual dividend payments depend on Tesco's board decisions and may vary. The calculator uses historical dividend data as defaults, but future dividends are not guaranteed. Always check Tesco's official investor relations for confirmed dividend announcements.
Do I need to pay tax on Tesco dividends in the UK?
UK investors may need to pay tax on dividend income above the tax-free dividend allowance (currently £500 for 2024/25). The tax rate depends on your income tax band: 8.75% for basic rate, 33.75% for higher rate, and 39.35% for additional rate taxpayers. This calculator includes an optional UK tax estimate feature, but tax rules change frequently so always check HMRC guidance.
Can I use this calculator to model dividend reinvestment?
Yes, the Advanced Projection feature lets you model reinvesting your Tesco dividends over 1-10 years. You can set assumptions for dividend growth and share price growth to see how your shareholding could potentially grow through a dividend reinvestment strategy. This is for educational purposes only and actual results will vary.
What are the Tesco ex-dividend and payment dates?
Tesco announces specific ex-dividend dates and payment dates with each dividend declaration. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that dividend. Payment typically follows a few weeks after the ex-dividend date. Check Tesco's investor relations website for the latest confirmed dividend payment dates.
