First time paying corporate tax in UAE: How do you actually calculate the 9%?

Hey everyone! My mainland consulting business has been doing really well this year, but with growth comes the tax man. Since the UAE introduced the 9% corporate tax, this is going to be my very first fiscal year where my net profit is comfortably crossing the 375,000 AED threshold. I'm trying to do some early financial planning before our corporate year officially closes, but I’m a bit confused about how the tax stack works. Is the 9% rate applied to my entire net profit from the very first dirham, or is it only on the amount above the threshold? Also, how do salary payouts to myself as a founder affect the final taxable income? Is there an easy way to simulate this and estimate my upcoming tax bill without hiring an expensive corporate accountant right away?
