How to read the numbers

These are estimates. Sound ones.

Directional, not authoritative

Every calculation follows current FTA guidance but excludes edge cases (partial exemption, DMTT, blocked input tax categories, mid-year rate changes). Treat outputs as first-order estimates.

Private by design

Nothing you enter is saved, sent, or logged. All calculation happens in your browser. Close the tab and the numbers are gone.

Updated quarterly

Free Zone data and calculator logic are reviewed every quarter to match published FTA guidance. Last review: Q3 2026.

Real answers require real conversation

These tools tell you the shape. A conversation tells you the specific move. That conversation is free — book 30 minutes.
