Calculation Methodology & Legal Basis

Computes road mileage between major UAE hubs (e.g. Dubai to Abu Dhabi = ~140 km, Dubai to Sharjah = ~25 km), applies Salik toll gates passed (AED 4 per gate across Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Barsha, Al Garhoud, etc.) and Abu Dhabi Darb tolls (AED 4 peak hours), plus vehicle fuel consumption.

Worked Example

Daily commute from Sharjah (Al Nahda) to Downtown Dubai: 22 km each way. Fuel (~AED 12/day) + 2 Salik gates (AED 8/day) = AED 20/day, or AED 440 per month across 22 working days.
