Open calculatorThis calculator estimates the one-year base municipal fees for issuing a Saudi commercial activity license. It uses the current commercial-shop and commercial-waste fee tables verified against the live Balady fee calculator.
Choose the municipal classification from 1 to 5, enter the licensed commercial area in square metres, then specify whether the verified municipal waste-fee exemption applies. The calculator applies the official area tranches cumulatively rather than charging the entire area at the final tranche rate.
Municipal classification determines the rate column. Licensed area determines how much area falls into each progressive tranche: up to 5,000 m², 5,001–10,000 m², 10,001–20,000 m², 20,001–30,000 m² and above 30,000 m². The waste-exemption choice only affects the municipal commercial-waste component.
For classification 1 and 100 m², the verified live baseline is SAR 600 for the commercial activity, SAR 20 for inspection and SAR 350 for commercial waste, giving SAR 970. If the verified waste-fee exemption applies, the same example becomes SAR 620.
No. It is a base municipal-fee estimate. The final invoice can include boards or signs, additional activities, previous years, late penalties, safety-related amounts or other activity-specific charges.
Yes. Each portion of the area is charged at the rate of its applicable tranche. He-Sab does not multiply the full area by the last reached tranche.
Only when the relevant municipal waste collection exemption or cleaning arrangement actually applies to the license. The official Balady request remains the authority for applicability.
The live one-year baseline verified for both procedures returned the same activity, inspection and commercial-waste components. Renewal can still have additional historical or penalty items outside this base model.
No. Signboard and advertising fees are not included in this base calculator because they depend on additional request details.
Use the classification applicable to the municipality or sub-municipality of the licensed location and confirm it through Balady or the competent municipality before relying on the estimate.
Independent planning estimate for base municipal issuance fees only. Verify the activity, municipal location, boards, safety requirements and final payable amount in the official Balady service before submitting or paying.
