The answers online are usually outdated.</p> <p>So I built <a href="https://adad.ae" rel="noopener noreferrer">Adad</a>, a free set of 15 calculators that pull from official UAE government sources and refresh every 24 hours. No sign-up, works in 8 languages.</p> <p>A few that people use most:</p> <ul> <li>Visa fees: real GDRFA and ICA rates</li> <li>Zakat: gold, silver, savings</li> <li>DEWA bills: estimate before the bill lands</li> <li>Gratuity: UAE labour-law end-of-service</li> </ul> <p>It is at <a href="https://adad.ae" rel="noopener noreferrer">adad.ae</a> if it is useful to you. Happy to answer how the data pipeline stays current.</p> webdev showdev javascript nextjs
