Ejari Fee Calculator
The Ejari registration fee in Dubai has two parts: a fixed government portion set by the Dubai Land Department, and a service fee that depends on how you register. Filing it yourself online on the Dubai REST app or the DLD portal is the lowest-cost route. A registration trustee centre, an agency, or a property manager adds a service fee on top. Pick your route below to see an estimated total, then confirm the current amount on the official channel.

What makes up the Ejari fee
The government portion is fixed by the DLD and is the same wherever you register: a registration fee of AED 100, a knowledge fee of AED 10, and an innovation fee of AED 10. On top of that sits a service fee, and that is where routes differ. Filing online yourself carries the smallest service fee, while a trustee centre, agency, or property manager charges more for handling the paperwork for you.
Registering yourself is the cheapest route
If you complete the registration on the Dubai REST app or the DLD portal, you pay the government fees plus a small service charge and VAT. Every route ends in the same Ejari certificate. The difference is only who does the filing and how much their help costs, so it is worth checking whether you can do it yourself before paying a higher service fee.
Does the fee depend on my rent
No. The Ejari registration fee is a fixed government charge, not a percentage of your rent. A higher rent does not raise the registration fee. This is different from the tenancy registration systems in some other emirates, where the fee can be linked to the annual rent.
