Why this site exists
Moroccan administrative information is scattered between official PDFs that are hard to read, forums where the answer dates from 2014, and articles that copy out rate scales long since expired. When it comes to clearing a car through customs or buying a flat, the gap between a rough estimate and the real amount runs into tens of thousands of dirhams.
SimulMaroc does two things: it turns official rate scales into tools that actually calculate, and it explains each procedure in the format people are looking for – documents required, cost, processing time, where to go, what goes wrong. In French, Arabic and English, for residents and for Moroccans living abroad alike.
What these calculators are - and are not
They are estimates built on the published rate scales. They give you a reliable order of magnitude for preparing a budget, talking to a professional or checking a quote. They do not replace a decision by the administration: the value assessed at customs, the tax base for a registration duty or the exact count of your contribution days remain matters for the departments concerned.
Every page states the source of its rate scale and the date it was last checked. If you find a discrepancy with an official figure, report it: correcting it is part of the work.
Frequently asked questions
Are the calculators free?
Yes, entirely, with no sign-up and no account to create. The site is funded by the advertising displayed around the content.
Is my data recorded?
No. The calculations run in your browser: the amounts you enter are never sent to a server. No calculator form is transmitted.
How often are the rate scales updated?
With each Finance Act, so at least once a year in January, and with any circular that changes a rate during the year. The date last checked is shown at the top of every page.
I live in France or Belgium - is the site of any use to me?
That is precisely why it exists. The Moroccans abroad section covers the topics specific to the diaspora: clearing a vehicle through customs, a permanent return removal, buying a property from abroad by power of attorney, money transfers, convertible dirham accounts and cross-border taxation.
