Estimate notes and warnings
- Supported scope: confirmed adult non-GCC resident, one mainland private-sector job for all 12 months, stable basic salary, no pension deductions and employee-paid standard ILOE through a direct channel.
- Take-home includes a separate annual ILOE cash reserve, not a salary withholding. Actual payment timing can differ; VAT may be collected in the first instalment. Service fees, optional cover, fines and reimbursements are excluded.
- Gross means cash salary and allowances, not an employer package. Employer health cover, gratuity and employer savings contributions are not employee deductions or current take-home. Medical copayments and dependant insurance are outside this estimate.
- All seven emirates share these scoped salary rules. UAE/GCC citizens, government/free-zone employment, temporary workers, domestic workers, pensioners, commission-only pay and cross-border tax are excluded.
- Your confirmed basic-equals-gross choice follows salary changes in raise and next-income estimates. No insurance benefit entitlement is calculated.
