Questions

Is there income tax on salaries in the UAE?

No. The UAE doesn't tax employment income, so your salary is your take-home. UAE and GCC nationals pay a pension contribution, which shows on the payslip.

How should I budget AED 47,500 a month?

A common split: about 30% on rent (AED 14,250), 10% on bills and transport (AED 4,750) and 20% saved (AED 9,500). That leaves AED 19,000 for food, fun and everything else, about AED 633.33 a day.

How much rent can I afford?

Keeping rent around 30% of take-home leaves room to save. Above 40%, saving gets hard unless you share.
