What UAE package could make your move work?

Start with your UK take-home—not your gross salary. Estimate a UAE package for your lifestyle, choosing whether to keep your current monthly surplus or use your own savings goal.

UK monthly household take-home (£)

After tax, pension and other payroll deductions

£0£100 steps · or type an amount£20,000

Current UK monthly spending (£)

Living costs and commitments; exclude savings and investments

£0£100 steps · or type an amount£10,000

UK costs continuing after the move (£/month)

Optional; for example retained commitments—not costs that stop

£0£100 steps · or type an amount£10,000

What would you like left each month?

We reserve your UK take-home minus current spending (at least £0) after UAE costs. Choose “Use my savings goal” if you want a different target.

We handle the conversion using a rounded planning assumption of £1 = AED 5, unless you adjust it below. Not a live exchange rate.

Uses your existing Aveloa living-cost assumptions, 45-minute commute limit and 45-minute school-run limit. A representative community is selected using Aveloa’s reference budget, then priced for your target; this is not the minimum salary for the UAE. Rental scenario; no employer housing or school benefits assumed. Refine lifestyle and travel assumptions in your full plan.
