The UAE has no personal income tax. Take-home pay equals gross salary for most employees. DIFC DEWS (5.83% of basic) is an employer-paid pension contribution — it does not reduce employee take-home. Optional employee top-up contributions to DEWS are not deducted here.
What is the UAE Salary Calculator?
The United Arab Emirates levies no personal income tax on employment income — making it one of the world's most attractive destinations for expatriate professionals. Your gross package (basic + housing + transport + other allowances) is your take-home pay. The only notable exception is the DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre), where the DEWS (DIFC Employee Workplace Savings) scheme requires employers to pay a 5.83% pension contribution on employees' basic salary — though this does not reduce employee net pay.
Formula
Gross = Basic + Housing + Transport + Other. Take-home = Gross (no income tax). DEWS employer contribution = Basic × 5.83% (DIFC employees only, not deducted from employee).- Basic
- = Basic monthly salary in AED
- Allowances
- = Sum of all cash allowances
- Tax
- = Personal income tax (0% in UAE)
