Free tools for Dubai
Practical calculators for setting up and living in Dubai. Free, instant, and nothing you enter leaves your browser.
These free tools for Dubai give you an instant, no-obligation estimate for a company setup, a visa cost, corporate tax or a gratuity, before you speak to anyone. Each one is indicative and takes under a minute; for a fixed, all-in quote on your exact case, send us the result and we reply the same day.
These free Dubai business tools give an instant, no-obligation estimate before you speak to anyone. The cost calculator ranges a company setup across the mainland and the free zones by jurisdiction and visa count; the VAT and corporate tax calculator applies the 5% VAT and the 9% corporate tax above AED 375,000; the gratuity calculator applies the MOHRE end-of-service formula; and the visa overstay calculator applies the daily fine the ICP sets.
Each tool is built from published fee bands and the official rules, not a guess, and each takes under a minute. The Golden Visa checker tests the AED 2 million property route and the salary and entrepreneur routes against your situation, and the mainland-or-free-zone tool points you to the structure that fits where your customers are. The figures are indicative, because the exact amount depends on your activity and the zone.
A tool gives you a number; a fixed, all-in quote needs your specific case, which we turn around the same day once you send the result. Every calculation cites the authority behind it, the Federal Tax Authority, MOHRE, the ICP or the Dubai Land Department, so what you plan on is the real rule rather than a rounded estimate from a blog.

Enter your visa expiry and your actual or planned exit date, and the calculator multiplies the overdue days by that daily rate to show the total you would owe.

Check my eligibility properlyWorking out your setup cost?
Our company setup calculator gives an indicative AED range for a mainland or free zone licence, built from published fee bands and including the visa allocation and the office or flexi-desk. It ranges the cost across the Department of Economy and Tourism mainland route and the free zones such as IFZA, Meydan and SPC, so you can compare before you commit. Once you have a range, we confirm a fixed, itemised quote for your exact activity, with the government fees shown separately from our fee.
