How this taxi fare estimate works

Dubai taxi fares (RTA-regulated) are built from a flag-fall charge, a per-kilometre rate, and a per-minute waiting charge, with a minimum fare floor. Night fares (10pmโ€“6am) carry a slightly higher flag fall than day fares.

The formula

Fare = Flag fall + (Distance ร— per-km rate) + (Waiting minutes ร— waiting rate), subject to a minimum fare

Because tariffs are periodically revised by the RTA, the per-km and waiting rates are editable above โ€” update them to the current published tariff for a more precise estimate. This tool is designed for quick budgeting, not as an official fare quote.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the exact fare I'll be charged?

No โ€” treat this as an estimate. Actual metered fares depend on traffic, route, tolls (Salik) and the exact tariff in effect at the time of your trip.

Does this include Salik toll charges?

No, toll gate charges are added separately by the meter if your route passes through a Salik gate and are not included in this estimate.

Do fares differ between Emirates?

Yes โ€” this calculator is based on Dubai RTA taxi tariffs. Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and other Emirates may use different rates.
