Four numbers people ask us for most weeks.

Import duty and VAT on landed goods, VAT at 15%, end of service benefit, and the zakat-versus-income-tax split. Everything runs in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere, stored or logged.

Calculator 01

Import duty & VAT on landed goods.

Customs duty is charged on the CIF value. Import VAT is then charged on the CIF value plus the duty — so duty is taxed too, which is the part most landed-cost estimates get wrong.

Goods value (SAR) Commercial invoice value of the goods themselves.

Freight (SAR) Insurance (SAR)

Customs duty rate (%) Depends entirely on the HS classification of the goods — commonly 0%, 5% or 15%, with higher protective rates on some categories. If you are unsure, send us the product and we will classify it.

CIF value: 0.00
Customs duty: 0.00
VAT base (CIF + duty): 0.00
Import VAT at 15%: 0.00
Payable at the border: 0.00
Total landed cost: 0.00

Import VAT is normally recoverable as input tax on your VAT return if you are registered and the goods are for taxable business use. Duty is not recoverable — it is a real cost.

Calculator 02

VAT at 15%, and whether you have to register.

Add VAT to a net figure, or strip it out of a gross one. Registration is a separate question, answered underneath.

What do you want to do? Amount (SAR) Rolling 12-month taxable supplies (SAR) Optional. Used only for the registration check — zero-rated supplies count toward the threshold, exempt supplies do not.

Net: 0.00
VAT at 15%: 0.00
Gross: 0.00

Enter your rolling twelve-month taxable supplies to check registration.

Calculator 03

End of service benefit.

Half a month's wage for each of the first five years, a full month for every year after that. How much of it is actually payable depends on whether the employee resigned or was let go.

Final monthly wage (SAR) The last wage, including regular allowances such as housing and transport — not basic salary alone.

Years of service Additional months

How did the employment end? Certain resignations are treated as full-award cases — including force majeure, and a female employee leaving within six months of marriage or three months of childbirth.

Service length: —
Full award: 0.00
Payable: 0.00

Employer termination — the full award is payable.

Calculator 04

Zakat versus income tax on mixed ownership.

Saudi and GCC-owned shares pay zakat. Everything else pays corporate income tax. A company with both pays both, apportioned — and they are calculated on two different figures.

Saudi / GCC ownership (%) Zakat base (SAR) Broadly an adjusted equity figure, not profit. Calculating it properly is the actual work — this assumes you already have it. Taxable income (SAR) Adjusted accounting profit. A different figure from the zakat base, which is why both are asked for separately.

GCC-owned share: 0.0%
Other ownership: 0.0%
Zakat at 2.5%: 0.00
Income tax at 20%: 0.00
Combined: 0.00

A rough apportionment. Real cases involve adjustments to both figures, loss carry-forward and sometimes treaty positions, any of which can move the answer materially.

Rates last reviewed —. These calculators are general information, not advice, and they cannot see your whole position. Saudi rates, thresholds and statutory rules change, and the figures built into this page will eventually fall out of date. Confirm anything you intend to rely on against ZATCA's current published guidance, or ask us. Nothing you enter above is transmitted, stored or logged — it is calculated in your browser and disappears when you close the tab.
