I'm curious about the use of a paladin's Divine Smite. Does a player need to announce they are using it before they make the attack roll?

Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage.
No, you do not have to announce it before attacking, it says "when you hit" so you get to choose whether or not to use it when you hit.
