How the dividend calculation works
For a standard taxable dividend, company income tax equals the payment × 22/78. For a total budget, the dividend is 78% and tax is 22%. For example, a €1,000 payment requires €282.05 in tax. A €1,000 total budget provides a €780 dividend and €220 in tax.

This calculator estimates standard company-level tax in Estonia. The shareholder’s personal taxes abroad, qualifying dividend exemptions and historical reduced-rate balances need a separate review. The result does not confirm that your company can legally distribute the amount.
