◊ Entering the Iranian market offers high potential — but it also requires precision in understanding the country’s unique cost structure and regulatory environment. At InvestIRI, our Cost Estimation & Budgeting service is built specifically for Iran’s economic, legal, and tax framework, giving you the financial confidence needed to invest wisely.

We go beyond generic estimates — our projections include local market pricing, mandatory government fees, and realistic operational costs aligned with Iranian law and business practice.

Cost estimation and budgeting in Iran with golden slogan and Iran map background

1.Comprehensive Cost Analysis, Tailored to Iran

We assess each category based on current market rates in Iran and actual conditions you will face:

  • Setup Costs – Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade registration fees; company incorporation costs; licensing from relevant Iranian authorities; translation and notarization of corporate documents; office leasing deposits; and purchasing locally available equipment.
  • Operational Costs – Rent based on location (Tehran, Free Trade Zones, regional cities), electricity and water tariffs defined by local utility authorities, data and internet costs from Iranian ISPs, marketing through compliant local channels, and domestic logistics expenses.
  • Human Resources Costs – Salaries calculated in IRR with attention to inflation and currency fluctuations; mandatory employer social security contributions (about 23% in most cases); required benefits under Iranian labor law; and staff training programs adapted to local standards.

2. Tax & Tariff Estimation – Fully Compliant with Iranian Regulations

Our team ensures you understand all fiscal obligations before you commit:

  • Corporate Taxes – Currently 25% for most legal entities operating in Iran, with potential exemptions for manufacturing, export, or knowledge-based companies.
  • Value-Added Tax (VAT) – Generally 9% on most goods and services, with exemptions for certain sectors (e.g., agricultural products, some services).
  • Customs Duties & Tariffs – Accurate estimation of import duties based on HS Codes, clearance costs at Iranian ports, and preferential tariff rates in special economic zones.
  • Incentives in Free Zones – Possible 20-year tax exemptions, reduced customs procedures, and additional investment protections.

3. Financial Modeling & Budgeting Support, Designed for Market Conditions

We build financial projections that factor in Iran’s economic dynamics:

  • Multi-Scenario Forecasting – Accounting for currency exchange risks (IRR vs. USD/EUR), potential inflation, and shifting raw material prices.
  • Cash Flow Planning – Ensuring liquidity despite possible delays in payment processing due to banking restrictions.
  • Break-even Analysis – Calculating profitability in the local market environment, including sales cycle length and domestic consumption trends.
  • Strategic Budget Allocation – Considering cost advantages of regional operations, domestic sourcing, and partnership models to optimize operations.

Why a Localized Approach Matter?

Iran’s market is rich with opportunity, but its taxation system, labor laws, and import/export regulations differ significantly from Western norms. Without localized cost estimation, you risk under-budgeting or non-compliance.

With InvestIRI, you will:

  • Receive cost projections that match official requirements and current market conditions
  • Avoid surprises in licensing fees, labor obligations, and tax reporting
  • Maximize benefits from investment incentives and free trade arrangements
