Calculate VAT in the UAE with precision. Add or subtract 5% VAT from your prices instantly for accurate business accounting and invoicing.
To calculate VAT in Dubai and UAE, add the amount to our UAE VAT Calculator and select whether you want to add VAT to the price or deduct VAT.
To add VAT to a net price (the price before VAT), you can use the following formula:
Total Price = Net Price × (1 + VAT Rate)
Example: If you have a net price of AED 100 and the VAT rate is 5% (0.05 as a decimal), the calculation would be:
Total Price = 100 × (1 + 0.05) = 100 × 1.05 = AED 105
So, the price including VAT would be AED 105.
To find the net price (the original price before VAT was added) from a gross price (the total price including VAT), use this formula:
Net Price = Gross Price ÷ (1 + VAT Rate)
Example: If your gross price is AED 105 and the VAT rate is 5%, the calculation would be:
Net Price = 105 ÷ 1.05 = AED 100
So, the original price before VAT was added is AED 100.
