NEPSE Cash Dividend and Bonus Share Calculator Guide
A company may announce a cash dividend, bonus shares or a combination of both. The amount credited to an investor depends on eligible holdings on the book-closure date, the declared percentage and the applicable tax and corporate-action rules. PDFora's calculator provides a quick estimate from the percentages you enter.
Published by PDFora · Last updated November 2, 2026
How a cash dividend percentage works
A cash dividend declared at a percentage is generally calculated against the applicable paid-up value per share, not automatically against the market price. For example, a 10% cash dividend on 100 eligible shares with a face value of NPR 100 implies a gross estimate of NPR 1,000 before any applicable withholding tax. Check the company's notice for the exact basis.
How bonus shares are estimated
A 5% bonus-share declaration applied to 100 eligible shares gives a simple estimate of 5 bonus shares. The final credited quantity depends on the official corporate action, book-closure eligibility and how fractional entitlements are handled.
Using the PDFora calculator
The calculator turns the share quantity and declared percentages into an indicative cash and bonus-share estimate. Enter figures from the issuer announcement rather than estimating the percentages from market-price movements.
- Enter the number of shares eligible for the corporate action.
- Enter the announced cash-dividend percentage, if any.
- Enter the announced bonus-share percentage, if any.
- Set the withholding-tax assumption only after checking the current applicable rule.
- Compare the estimate with the company notice and final CDSC/Mero Share credit.
Important limitations
The calculator does not check your Demat holdings, book-closure date, company paid-up value, fractional entitlements or tax category. It does not connect to CDSC or a broker account. Treat the output as a planning estimate and confirm the final corporate-action statement.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 10% cash dividend calculated on the current market price?
Not necessarily. The declared percentage is commonly based on paid-up or face value as specified in the company notice. Read the exact resolution before calculating.
Will every investor receive the estimated bonus shares?
Only eligible shareholders under the book-closure and corporate-action rules receive the final allotment. The calculator cannot verify eligibility.
Does the calculator confirm dividend tax?
No. Tax treatment can depend on current law and investor circumstances. Verify the applicable withholding rate with the company or tax authority.
