About Gulf Expat Tools

Gulf Expat Tools is a free planning hub for people living and working in the six GCC countries. Each calculator is written against a named official source, shows its scope, and is dated when it was last reviewed.

What we are

• A set of country-specific estimators and readiness checkers.
• A way to see the formula, not only the output.
• A starting point before you speak to HR, a PRO, a landlord or a lawyer.

What we are not

• Not a ministry, not ICP, not Qiwa, not the Ministry of Labour, not a bank.
• Not legal, tax, immigration or financial advice.
• Not a filing portal. We do not submit applications or receive fees.

How a page stays honest

• Named source with a public URL.
• Scope line: which workers / visas / cities are in, which are out.
• Review date on the page.
• Exception flags when a simple formula is unsafe.
