Adding 5% VAT (United Arab Emirates) to your net amount.
How to add 5% VAT
Multiply the net amount by 0.05 to get the VAT, then add it on. For example, 1,000.00 AED net + 50.00 AED VAT = 1,050.00 AED gross.
How to remove VAT from a price
Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1.05. For example, 1,000.00 AED including VAT ÷ 1.05 = 952.38 AED net, so the VAT is 47.62 AED. Subtracting 5% of the gross instead would give 950.00 AED, which understates the net amount. It's the most common VAT mistake.

| 100.00 AED | 5.00 AED | 105.00 AED |
| 500.00 AED | 25.00 AED | 525.00 AED |
| 1,000.00 AED | 50.00 AED | 1,050.00 AED |
| 5,000.00 AED | 250.00 AED | 5,250.00 AED |
| 10,000.00 AED | 500.00 AED | 10,500.00 AED |
About VAT in the UAE
VAT (value-added tax) is a consumption tax charged at each stage of supply. Businesses add it to their sales and generally reclaim the VAT they pay on their own purchases, so the tax is ultimately borne by the final consumer.
The standard rate in the UAE is 5%, charged in AED. Reduced or zero rates may apply to some goods and services. Use the calculator's custom rate for those, and confirm current rates with the tax authority before you file.
