VAT is worked out at the rate you entered. This is not tax advice.
Client invoice
This is what your client sees. It never shows the platform fee or what you keep.
How the freelancer price is worked out
Start from what you want to keep. The tool adds your margin, grosses the price up for the platform fee, then adds VAT for the client. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded or saved.
- Target
- Target = what you keep × (1 + margin). For hourly billing, what you keep is your rate × the hours.
- Gross-up for the fee
- Subtotal = target ÷ (1 − fee). Keeping 3,000 with a 10% margin and a 20% platform fee: 3,300 ÷ 0.8 = 4,125, and the fee of 825 leaves you 3,300.
- VAT
- VAT = subtotal × the VAT rate, added on top for the client: 4,125 × 15% = 618.75, so the client pays 4,743.75.
- Rounding
- Amounts are rounded once to the currency’s decimals (3 for KWD, BHD and OMR, 2 for the others), and the invoice total is always the sum of the lines shown.

Questions
How does the platform-fee gross-up work?
Platforms take their fee out of what the client pays, so adding the fee percentage on top isn’t enough. The tool divides by (1 − fee) instead: to keep 3,300 after a 20% fee you charge 4,125, because 20% of 4,125 is 825 and 4,125 − 825 = 3,300.
Is the VAT figure tax advice?
No. Each country preset fills a common standard VAT rate (Saudi Arabia 15%, UAE 5%, Bahrain 10%, Oman 5%, Kuwait and Qatar 0%), and you can change it. Whether you must register for or charge VAT depends on your situation, so check with the tax authority or an adviser.
Can I give my client the invoice in Arabic?
Yes. Switch the tool to Arabic to see and print the invoice in Arabic, with Latin digits. Copy invoice always copies the English text followed by the Arabic text. The wording is a template, so read it before you send it.
Should I bill by the hour or by the project?
Hourly suits work whose size is unclear: enter your rate and the hours, and the invoice lists the hours. Project or monthly pricing suits work with a clear scope; add the hours you expect and your breakdown shows the effective hourly rate.
Is anything I type uploaded or saved?
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is saved, so refreshing the page clears the form. Copy the text or save a PDF before you leave.
