How to use the UAE & Saudi VAT Calculator
How VAT is calculated
- Adding VAT: VAT = net price × rate. Total = net price + VAT.
- Removing VAT: net price = total ÷ (1 + rate). VAT = total − net price.
The standard rate is 5% in the UAE and 15% in Saudi Arabia (since 1 July 2020). Some goods and services are zero-rated or exempt, so check with your accountant for anything unusual.
Both countries are moving to e-invoicing. Read our guides to UAE e-invoicing and Saudi ZATCA Wave 25, or check an invoice's QR code with our ZATCA QR code reader.

What is the VAT rate in the UAE?

How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide the VAT-inclusive price by (1 + the VAT rate). For 15%, divide by 1.15: 115 ÷ 1.15 = 100 before VAT, so the VAT is 15.
