Privacy Policy

We collect limited usage data to keep the site useful, pages visited, time on page, and basic device metrics. For example, if many readers leave the calculator form at the same step, we use that signal to fix the flow.

We do not sell personal data. We use third-party tools such as Google Analytics and AdSense, and those services process data under their own privacy terms.

By using HiddenFees, you agree to this policy. Please also read our Terms of Use. Questions are welcome. Contact us and we will reply directly.

How HiddenFees fits your move: choose rent, business setup, or lifestyle calculators based on whether you are relocating, launching in DMCC or another free zone, or comparing school fees. Enter the headline figure from any ad or proposal, whether that is AED 8,000 monthly rent, a license quote, or published tuition, and we layer in the fees people usually meet after commitment. Each tool maps known UAE charges such as 5% agency commission, 5% Dubai municipality housing fees collected through DEWA, Ejari registration, refundable utility deposits, establishment cards, and other recurring setup costs that rarely appear in the first conversation. The totals are planning estimates: your building, free zone, or contract may differ, but you leave with a budget tied to how Dubai bills in practice, not a marketing teaser. HiddenFees is built for anyone who wants honest numbers before signing. We foreground the line items sales quotes skip, including housing fees on DEWA bills, DEWA and chiller deposits, and business steps beyond the license fee, so you can compare scenarios and negotiate from the number your account actually sees.
