The tools on Handy Tools Desk are free and designed to help you get a quick, sensible answer. Please read this before relying on any result. It forms part of our terms of use.

General

Every result is an estimate for general information only, worked out from what you enter. It is not advice for your personal circumstances and is not a substitute for a qualified professional. Check anything important with the official source or an adviser before you make a decision.

Tax, pay and money tools

Take-home pay, self-employed tax, VAT, Stamp Duty, mileage, gratuity, loan and similar calculators use the rates and thresholds shown on each page, with the tax year, the official source and the date we last checked them. They simplify the rules and may not cover your situation (for example other income, reliefs, tax codes or local rules). They are not financial or tax advice; HMRC, the UAE Federal Tax Authority or the relevant government body has the final word. Loan results do not take fees or changing rates into account.

Exchange rates

Currency figures are mid-market reference rates updated about once a day, with the date shown. Banks and money transfer services use their own rates and fees, so the amount you actually get will differ.

Travel tools

Flight times without a booked duration are estimates from the distance. Time zones use your browser’s official rules. Packing lists are suggestions. Entry, visa, passport validity, baggage and liquid rules change and differ by airline and country – always check the airline, airport and official government advice before you travel. The Umrah planner uses your own figures and gives no prices.

Passport and visa photos

The passport photo maker crops to official sizes, but acceptance also depends on the background, lighting, expression and the authority’s own checks. We cannot guarantee that any photo will be accepted.

Documents and files

Invoices, PDFs, images, MP3s and designs are made on your device from what you provide. You are responsible for their content and for checking them before you use or send them (for example, that an invoice meets your country’s rules). Keep your own copies – we never store them.

Accuracy and availability

We check figures against official sources and fix mistakes quickly when we find them, but we cannot promise that every result is error-free or up to date. Tell us about anything wrong through the contact form.

Links and partners

Links to official websites and partners are for convenience. Partner links are marked and explained in the affiliate disclosure. We are not responsible for other websites.
