Frequently asked questions
What does it actually cost to start a UAE business?▾
Mainland LLC: AED 15,000-30,000 for setup year-one (DED license + admin + visa). DMCC Free Zone: AED 25,000-50,000 depending on package. ADGM: USD 8,000-15,000 (~AED 30,000-55,000) plus office. Use the Trade License Calculator for mainland and ADGM Setup Calculator for ADGM to estimate your exact case.
Do I need to register for UAE VAT?▾
Mandatory at AED 375,000 annual taxable supplies. Voluntary registration possible from AED 187,500. The VAT Calculator and VAT Return Calculator handle the math for both directions (adding VAT to invoices, claiming input VAT on the return).
What's the UAE corporate tax rate?▾
9% on taxable income above AED 375,000. Below that threshold: 0%. Free Zone 'Qualifying Free Zone Persons' can stay at 0% for qualifying activities subject to substance rules. The Corporate Tax Calculator handles standard + Small Business Relief + Qualifying Free Zone Person regimes.
Why is employee true cost higher than salary?▾
UAE employer obligations add on top of the gross salary: end-of-service gratuity accrual (21-30 days/year of basic), visa + medical + Emirates ID (annual), DEWA / housing allowance (often), medical insurance, processing fees, recruitment costs. True cost typically runs 1.25-1.4× the gross salary. The Employee Cost Calculator gives you a per-employee monthly burden number.
How do I calculate cash runway?▾
Cash on hand divided by monthly burn rate (operating expenses minus revenue). The Cash Runway Calculator does this with custom burn — you can model what cost cuts or revenue lifts would buy you, in months.
