About Dirham Desk

Free, clear calculators for money questions people in the UAE ask every day.

What we do

Dirham Desk turns UAE rules into simple calculators: gratuity, leave pay, rent increases, loans, VAT, gold, zakat and more. Each one shows how the answer is worked out, links to its sources, and shows the date its rules were last checked.

How we keep it accurate

• Rules come from UAE government websites and reputable UAE news and legal sources, listed on each page.
• Rates that change, such as gold prices, exchange rates and fares, are reviewed regularly and show their last update date.
• When a law changes, we update the calculator and its "Rules checked" date.

Important

Our calculators give estimates for guidance. They are not legal, tax, religious or financial advice. For decisions that matter, check with the relevant authority or a qualified adviser.
