How to use UAE VAT Calculator

In the UAE, Value Added Tax (VAT) is set at a standard rate of 5%. This tool helps you quickly calculate the exact tax amount, whether you are pricing products for your business or verifying a receipt as a consumer.

To Add VAT, simply enter your base price and select the "Add VAT" option. This is commonly used in B2B transactions or when determining final shelf prices.

To Remove VAT, enter your total price and select "Remove VAT". This helps you extract the exact tax amount included in a standard retail price (inclusive pricing), which is essential for accurate accounting and expenses reporting.

Formula Explained

You can verify your UAE VAT numbers using these two standard mathematical approaches:

➕ Adding VAT (Exclusive Pricing)
VAT = Amount × 0.05
Gross Amount = Amount + VAT

The standard VAT rate introduced in the UAE is 5%. When dealing with inclusive retail prices, never simply subtract 5% from the total to find the base. Always use the 5/105 formula to correctly extract the VAT factor.
