UAE VAT Calculator

1. 01Choose a modeAdd VAT starts from a net (pre-tax) price. Remove VAT starts from a gross (tax-inclusive) price. VAT amount shows the tax on a net price.
2. 02Enter the amount and rateType the amount. The rate is set to the 5% UAE standard rate; change it only if you are handling a zero-rated or exempt supply.
3. 03Read net, VAT, and grossThe tool shows all three figures at once, so you can copy the net, the VAT, or the gross price you need.

• Add 5% VATA net price of 100 AED becomes 100 × 1.05 = 105 AED, with 5 AED of VAT.
• Remove VAT from a priceA gross price of 105 AED contains 105 ÷ 1.05 = 100 AED net, so the VAT is 5 AED.
• VAT amount onlyOn a net price of 200 AED, the VAT is 200 × 0.05 = 10 AED.

The standard rate is 5%. To add VAT, multiply the net amount by 1.05. To take VAT out of a gross amount, divide by 1.05 to get the net, then subtract to get the VAT. Some supplies are zero-rated (0%) or exempt; for those, set the rate to 0 or handle them separately, because this tool applies a single standard rate.

The 5% standard rate is set by the UAE Federal Tax Authority (tax.gov.ae) and the Ministry of Finance. Last checked 6 July 2026.

It covers the standard rate only, not the detail of zero-rated, exempt, or special-scheme supplies. Rates and rules can change.
