How tax works in United Arab Emirates

Middle East · AED

The UAE imposes no personal income tax on salaries, making take-home pay equal to gross for expat workers. Emirati nationals contribute to a state pension scheme; expats do not. A 9% federal corporate tax applies to business profits above AED 375,000 but does not affect employee pay.

Gross vs. net pay in United Arab Emirates

Gross salary

The total figure on your contract — before any tax or social deductions. In United Arab Emirates this is typically quoted in AED per year, though monthly quotes are common for white-collar roles.

Net (take-home) pay

What lands in your bank account after income tax and any payroll items. Most workers in United Arab Emirates keep 100% of a ‏300,000 د.إ.‏ gross.

Employee deductions

Visible on your payslip: income tax (progressive brackets) and any opt-in retirement contributions. These are what this calculator models.

Employer-side charges

Paid on top of your gross — pension contributions, employer social security, accident insurance. They raise the total cost of employment but do not reduce your net pay.
