Are you looking for brilliant dividend stocks to buy at low cost? Well your luck is well and truly in. The stock market crash leaves plenty of income-paying UK shares trading at prices that are too cheap to miss.

Many people claim that the 2020 market crash provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a million. It’s a view that’s shared by many writers here at The Motley Fool, myself included. I certainly believe that the following dividend shares have all the tools to help investors get rich and retire early.

A bargain UK share

The exploding e-commerce market means that Clipper Logistics is one of the hottest growth and dividend stocks to buy today. But don’t just take my word for it. City analysts expect annual earnings at the warehouse and distribution hub provider to keep rocketing by double-digit percentages. This includes a 30% year on year increase in the current fiscal year (to April 2021).

This profit forecast makes Clipper brilliant value for money. Right now the company can be snapped up on a sub-1 price-to-earnings growth (PEG) reading of 0.6. Combined with an inflation-smashing 3.5% dividend yield I think this is one of the best all-round stocks to buy today.

More great stocks to buy

Those seeking value, growth, and income should pay Trans-Siberian Gold (LSE: TSG) close attention too. Bullion prices are rocketing right now, boosting the bottom lines of dedicated gold miners and blasting their share prices to the stars. Trans-Siberian itself has seen its shares gain 40% in value since the Covid-19 crisis first shook investor nerves and helped the gold price hit repeated multi-year highs.

Gold’s stampede is no flash in the pan, either. There’s plenty of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that should drive prices steadily higher over the next decade. Against this backcloth City analysts reckon Trans-Siberian’s earnings will double in 2020 and rise an extra 44% next year.

These forecasts leave the Russian digger trading on a rock-bottom forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 7 times. This sits well inside the bargain-basement benchmark of 10 times and below. What’s more, at current prices Trans-Siberian boasts a chunky 2.9% right now. If you’re looking to ride the gold train this is one of the best stocks to buy, in my opinion.

A FTSE 100 share with a 6% dividend yield

My final pick of great dividend-paying UK shares is from the FTSE 100. Following the stock market crash, RSA Insurance Group offers spectacular value for money. On top of a forward yield of 6.3% the financial goliath sports a P/E ratio of just 10 times for 2020.

It’s not its near-term growth prospects that make RSA one of the best stocks to buy. City analysts expect annual earnings to rise by just 3% this year. They expect the bottom line to surge 15%, though, as it clicks through the gears again following the Covid-19 crisis. With the company also making huge strides to maintain a strong balance sheet, I expect this FTSE 100 share to pay big dividends for many years to come.

Royston Wild has no position in any of the shares mentioned. The Motley Fool UK has recommended Clipper Logistics.
