UAE VAT Calculator

Add or remove 5% UAE VAT from any amount, with the tax shown separately.

Updated

Add 5% VAT to a price, or take it out of a VAT-inclusive total. Results update as you type.

For quick checks only. Zero-rated and exempt supplies (for example some education, healthcare and residential property) are taxed differently. See the Federal Tax Authority for the rules that apply to you.

How the calculation works

  • To add VAT: amount × 1.05 = total including VAT. The VAT is amount × 0.05.
  • To remove VAT: total ÷ 1.05 = amount before VAT. The VAT is the total minus that amount.

For example, AED 1,050 including VAT is AED 1,000 before VAT plus AED 50 VAT.

When VAT isn’t 5%

Some supplies are zero-rated (taxed at 0%) or exempt, including certain exports, international transport, some education and healthcare services, and some residential property. Check the Federal Tax Authority’s guidance for your case.
