When comparing income streams, it’s always best to level the playing field and bring them back to what they are worth in their raw form, so when comparing a franked dividend to other income streams to add the franking credit to the cash component.

otherwise you can be easily confused by different earnings rates, eg you might fall into he trap of thinking a 6% interest on a bank account is worth more than a 5% franked dividend.

also multiply a franked dividend by 1.43 to get its real rate of before tax return, that way you can compare it to other types of return more easily.

what your exact tax bracket is at the time is irrelevant.
