How to calculate dividend payment?

Daniyella

Can someone help me calculate, I have 278 shares, the dividends are 21.5, the share price is £10.30 each how much dividends will I get back?

The dividend is 21.5p?

That's the amount you get per share, therefore the overall amount is: £59.77

You see that's where I am confused as they go on about special dividends too, I got £79 last year on 168 shares and the dividends are meant to be double what they were last year...?

Daniyella,
Last year easyJet paid a normal dividend, and a one off special dividend. The total was around 50p per share (made up mainly of the special one off dividend) - with about 10p or so from the normal dividend.

This year they aren't paying the special dividend, only a normal dividend of 21.5p per share. So the dividend has doubled, but you aren't getting as much money because they are omitting the special dividend thus year!

Still, we get more free shares soon
