Multi source wizard calculator doesnt allow £1000 of personal savings allowance (500 if higher rate)?

This has been corrected and should now be showing.

Follow up example: Use 12.8k net savgs income, 5k divs. Calc shows no tax. Add £1 to divs, calc shows £1000.08 tax!

The calculator was taking dividend income into account as non-savings income. This has been removed now. If your non-savings income is above the starting band level, the 0% rate will not apply and the basic rate percentage will be used instead.

Follow up: I read dividend income eligible for the personal allowance if no earnings http://bit.ly/1LeZndJ

There is no clarification yet from HMRC on whether the non-savings personal allowance can be used against the dividend income directly. We will update as more information for the 2016 tax year is released.

Assume 2016/7:16k gross savings, 5k divs, 11.1k CGT. Should = nil tax overall. Doesnt.

Gross savings of 16k, so enter 12.8k net savings into calc. Total annual gross income therefore equals 32.1k, which is over the amount allowed to have tax-free savings up to 5k. The only tax charged is on savings at source, but some of that is refundable as total non-savings income is less than 16k. So, no extra tax to pay but a refund of tax charged at source on savings of 2.2k.

1 query example 2; you have not taken advantage of the last £2,888 personal allowance after only £8112 salary???

The second example attempts to only take a salary equal to an amount before it would be liable to NICs. It may not be the best scenario depending upon the profit but is placed there to allow comparison.
