The ex-dividend date is the cutoff date for dividend eligibility. To receive the next dividend payment, you must own shares before this date. If you buy on or after the ex-date, you won't receive the upcoming dividend. On the ASX, shares typically trade at a lower price on the ex-date, reflecting the dividend that has been separated from the share.
The ex-dividend date determines eligibility; the payment date is when the money arrives in your account. On the ASX, payment dates are typically 4–6 weeks after the ex-dividend date. For income planning, focus on payment dates to understand when your dividend income will be available.
Franking credits (imputation credits) represent company tax already paid on profits distributed as dividends. Fully franked dividends carry a tax credit that can reduce your personal tax liability or result in a refund. The gross yield — which includes franking credits — gives a more complete picture of a dividend's value for Australian tax residents. Franking is calculated as: franking credit = net dividend × (company tax rate ÷ (1 − company tax rate)).
Dates marked Confirmed come directly from company announcements. Dates marked Est are estimated from historical payment patterns — typically accurate within a few weeks, but subject to change when the company officially announces.
