Free tools for the UK tax side
The three questions every UK leaver asks, answered from your actual circumstances rather than a generic article. Built on HMRC's published rules, checked against the current guidance, and honest when the answer is genuinely borderline.
"Am I still UK tax resident?"
UK tax residency checker
Walks the full Statutory Residence Test: the automatic tests, then your ties, derived from plain questions. Honest about grey areas rather than pretending they don't exist.
Use the tool →"How many days am I allowed back?"
Day allowance calculator
Reads the ties test backwards and gives you a number to plan flights around, plus the ladder showing exactly which tie to release to raise it.
Use the tool →"When does my UK tax actually stop?"
Split-year calculator
For the year you leave: which split-year case fits your move, and your shrunken day budget for the rest of that year, month by month.
Use the tool →"What would I actually keep?"
UK vs Dubai take-home pay
Your salary through both tax systems side by side, on 2026/27 UK rates. The yearly and monthly difference, and the honest caveats that go with it.
Use the tool →Moving from Ireland instead?
Irish residency & tail tools
Our Irish site has the same thinking for the Irish side: the Ireland vs Dubai take-home comparison, and the residency calculator that maps the three-year tail.
Visit the Irish tools →Not sure which you need? Start with the residency checker if you want a straight read on where you stand. Use the day allowance calculator when you're planning visits home. Reach for the split-year calculator in the year of the move itself. And if you just want the headline number, the take-home comparison shows what the same salary keeps in each country. They hand off to each other, so starting in the wrong one costs you nothing.
