Salik Toll Calculator

Tap the gates you pass

There are no barriers or booths — the gate reads your Salik tag as you drive through. Select every gate on your journey, in the direction you travel:

Good to know: passing both Al Safa North and Al Safa South in the same direction within one hour is charged as a single crossing — this calculator has already counted the pair once.

The prices, as Salik publishes them

Salik's variable toll pricing has applied since 31 January 2025. The published tariff is AED 6 at peak and AED 4 off-peak; since 1 June 2026 Salik adds 5% VAT to toll charges, so the amounts below are what actually leaves your account:

On Sundays that fall on a public holiday or a major event day, Salik applies the weekday rates instead. Ramadan follows its own timings — check salik.ae during the holy month. Sources: Salik's variable pricing table (Salik Annual Report 2025, salik.ae) and Salik's VAT announcement of 22 May 2026.

Worked example

Dubai Marina to Downtown on a weekday morning: you pass Al Barsha, then both Al Safa gates — which count once — so 2 charges at the peak rate of AED 6.30 = AED 12.60 one way. Drive back at 3pm (off-peak) and the return is 2 × AED 4.20 = AED 8.40, making the day's tolls AED 21.00. Try it above: tap Al Barsha, Al Safa North and Al Safa South, choose Peak, then add a return at Off-peak.

The 10 Salik gates

Business Bay Crossing and Al Safa South are the newest gates — both opened on 24 November 2024, taking the network from eight gates to ten. Gate list: Salik's toll locations, salik.ae.

What this calculator does not do

It totals tolls only. Account top-ups, tag purchases, balance checks and fines are handled by Salik itself — never through third parties:
