  • How to Earn a £12,548 Annual Second Income from UK Shares Starting with £10,000
    May 2, 2026, 3:03 AM EDT. UK shares present some of the highest dividend yields, with 13 FTSE 100 stocks currently paying more than 5%, averaging 6.4%. To generate a second income of £12,548 annually, equivalent to the 2026/27 full State Pension, an investor would need a portfolio valued at £196,063 at this yield. Starting with £10,000 invested in dividend shares paying 6.4%, reinvesting dividends could grow the portfolio to £47,516 in 25 years. Supplementing with a monthly investment of about £214 can reach the needed portfolio size to draw the target income. However, investors must note dividend risks; for example, housebuilder Persimmon cut payouts amid economic pressures, showing dividends are not guaranteed.
