As can be seen, final dividend payment dates are clustered in the period May–Aug, with the most popular month being May, when 109 companies paid their dividends (which largely reflects the fact that the overwhelming majority of companies have their financial year ends between 31 December and 31 March). From this, we can see that if one holds a reasonably diversified portfolio of FTSE All-Share companies, the (final) dividend income is going to be concentrated in the May–Aug period.

Interim dividends tend to be concentrated around the calendar year end.
