UAE VAT Calculator — Add or Remove 5% Tax
The UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) applies a 5% VAT rate on most goods and services across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. This calculator handles both adding VAT to a net price and extracting VAT from a gross (VAT-inclusive) price.
Adding VAT: formula
Total = Net price × 1.05 | VAT amount = Net price × 0.05
Removing VAT: formula
Net price = Gross price ÷ 1.05 | VAT amount = Gross price − Net price. Use this when a quoted price already includes VAT and you need the pre-tax figure for accounting.
