Calculators

Free calculators for tax, payroll and trade in the UAE: corporate tax, VAT, excise, customs duty, end-of-service gratuity, overtime, leave pay and more. Each one applies the official rule, shows its formula and a worked example, and lists its sources with the date we checked them, so you can check a figure yourself.

How our calculators work

  • The working is on the page. Every calculator explains its formula and works through an example in AED, so you can follow each step.
  • Rules come from official sources. Rates, thresholds and deadlines are taken from UAE law and from the authorities that apply it, such as the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Tax Authority. Each page lists its sources with the date we checked them.
  • Your figures stay with you. The calculators run in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or anyone else.
  • Results are estimates. Where the law leaves a choice open, such as how a daily wage is worked out, the calculator says which assumption it uses and lets you change it.
