People who are thinking of moving to United Arab Emirates always ask me what is the average software engineer salary in Dubai, or the average cost of living. I wanted to make it really easy for anyone thinking of moving here to get a quick estimate and see how moving to Dubai could affect their finances.
This tool calculates an average salary in Dubai for software engineers based on:
Using this data I created a multiple linear regression model. I then used this model to pre-computer the specific salary values for every combination of inputs available in the quiz.
The salary calculator is great for guidance and a starting point for understanding what's possible in Dubai. Understandably, software engineering salaries in Dubai vary a lot depending on the specifics of the role, the company and the candidate's own experience. My focus with Zero Tax Jobs is to bring you the best software engineering jobs in Dubai, that's why my calculator is based on data from top companies in the region. I've written a deep dive article all about software engineer salaries in Dubai and how different types of companies in Dubai have totally different payscales, I recommend you read it.
I should also add that for some specific roles you can see some extremely high salaries in Dubai, I've omitted those from my calculator because they were skewing the data, but I wanted to point out that they do exist.
Don't forget that there is no income tax on salaries in UAE. That means you take all of it home. Even US citizens, who have to pay federal taxes wherever they are in the world usually don't have to pay tax on their first $120,000 USD thanks to the IRS's Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.
Furthermore, most employees offer additional benefits, such as paying for a child's school fees, housing, transport allowance and more.
