Hong Life CalculatorsHow it works
Dividend before tax = common shares × dividend per common share + preferred shares × dividend per preferred share. In a regular brokerage account 15.4% is withheld (14% national income tax + 1.4% local income tax), so you receive 84.6% of the gross amount. Samsung Electronics pays quarterly dividends with record dates at the end of March, June and September and a year-end dividend with a 31 December record date. You must hold the shares at the end of the record date to receive the payment. Brokers round each tax item down to 10 won, so the amount paid can differ by a few won. The 2026 Q3 dividend (₩4,601) is unusually large because Samsung returned about ₩30 trillion in cash in that quarter; do not multiply it by four to estimate a yearly income.

FAQ
When will I receive the Q3 2026 dividend?
Samsung said the dividend is paid after the board decision of 29 October 2026; news reports put the payment in late November 2026. It goes into the brokerage account that held the shares on the record date (30 September 2026).
Do common and preferred shares get the same dividend?
For quarterly dividends Samsung has paid the same amount on both. The year-end dividend can differ by 1 won (FY2025: 566 won common, 567 won preferred).
Why is my amount a few won lower?
Brokers round the income tax and the local income tax down to 10 won each, and some accounts (ISA, pension savings) are taxed differently. Use the tax field for your own rate.
