What is Gulf Tools?

Gulf Tools is a suite of free financial tools and calculators designed specifically for residents of the Arabian Gulf — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Egypt. Every tool is built with local laws, currencies and regulations in mind, and validated by qualified accountants and financial consultants based in the region.

Why We Built This

Most financial tools online are built for Western markets. They don't account for end-of-service gratuity, 5% or 15% VAT, the Hijri calendar, or Saudi GOSI contributions. After years of manually calculating these figures for clients, our team decided to build the tools we always wished existed — free, accurate and designed for Gulf reality.

Accuracy You Can Trust

Every calculator on Gulf Tools is built on official regulatory frameworks: UAE Labour Law, GAZT guidelines, Saudi GOSI regulations and GCC VAT frameworks. We update our tools whenever regulations change.

Completely Free, Always

All tools are completely free and require no registration or account creation. We support the site through advertising. We do not sell your data or collect personal information.

The Team

Victor Klen

Founder & Certified Accountant — Dubai, UAE

Victor is a certified accountant with over 12 years of experience working across the UAE and Eastern Europe. After relocating to Dubai as an expat in 2014, he spent years manually recalculating gratuity payouts, VAT obligations and loan schedules for clients who couldn't find reliable Gulf-specific tools online. Gulf Tools was born out of that frustration — every calculator on this site reflects the exact formulas Victor uses in professional practice, grounded in UAE Labour Law, Saudi GOSI regulations and GCC VAT frameworks.
