Value Added Tax in the UAE is charged at a standard rate of 5% on most goods and services. Whether you are pricing a product, raising an invoice, or reconciling a supplier bill, you often need to move between the net (pre-VAT) and gross (VAT-inclusive) amounts. This calculator handles both directions instantly.
Use Add VAT when you have a net price and want to know the final amount to charge. Use Reverse VAT when you have a VAT-inclusive total — say from a receipt — and need to pull out the VAT portion for your records or VAT return.
A calculator answers a single question. When you need to track VAT across every invoice and expense and file an FTA-ready return, Pyalm Books keeps the whole picture for you.
The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%, introduced on 1 January 2018. Some supplies are zero-rated (0%) or exempt. The same 5% standard rate applies in Saudi Arabia at 15%, Bahrain and Oman — you can change the rate in this calculator to match your country.
Multiply the net amount by 1.05. For example, AED 100 net becomes AED 105 gross — AED 5 of that is VAT. Use the 'Add VAT' mode above to do this instantly.
Divide the gross amount by 1.05 to get the net, then subtract to find the VAT. For example, AED 105 gross ÷ 1.05 = AED 100 net, so the VAT is AED 5. The 'Reverse VAT' mode does this for you.
Profit after VAT shows what you keep once VAT is accounted for. Enter your cost and VAT-inclusive selling price, and the calculator shows the net sale value, the VAT you owe, and your resulting profit.
Registration is mandatory when annual taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000, and voluntary between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000. Registered businesses charge VAT on sales and can reclaim VAT on eligible purchases.
