About liphyr

Liphyr is a free collection of calculators and guides built specifically for the UAE. Every tool is designed to be fast, accurate and honest — answer first, ads later.

We build what we'd want ourselves as expats working, renting, paying tax and insuring a family in Dubai. When a question was answered poorly by five competitor sites — that's usually when we built the tool for it.

How we verify the numbers

Every calculator uses rules and figures traceable to a primary source — MOHRE, RERA, the Federal Tax Authority, the UAE Central Bank, the Ministry of Interior, ICP, GDRFA Dubai, or the relevant federal decree-law. Each tool states when it was last checked and links directly to that source.

Because UAE laws and fine schedules change, we re-verify each tool on a rolling schedule — not just when we first launch. If you spot a rule that has moved, please tell us at hello@liphyr.com.

What we do not do

We don't store your inputs. Everything runs in your browser. We don't sell your data — because we don't have it. We don't give legal, tax or financial advice. We give clearly-sourced estimates you can use as a planning baseline. For anything that matters, you should verify with the relevant authority or a licensed UAE professional.
