Questions
Salaries in Egypt,answered.
How is net salary calculated in Egypt?
Start from the gross monthly salary. Deduct the employee's 11% social insurance on the insurable wage, then the salary tax: annual gross less social insurance and the EGP 20,000 personal exemption goes through the tax bands, and 1/12 is withheld each month. Finally deduct the Martyrs' Fund (0.05% of gross).
What are the salary tax bands in 2026?
On annual taxable income: 0% up to EGP 40,000, 10% to 55,000, 15% to 70,000, 20% to 200,000, 22.5% to 400,000, 25% to 1,200,000 and 27.5% above that (Law 7/2024).
What are the social insurance limits for 2026?
From 1 January 2026 the insurable wage is at least EGP 2,700 and at most EGP 16,700 a month. The employee pays 11% and the employer 18.75%, so the employee's share is capped at EGP 1,837 a month.
What is the band-loss rule?
Above EGP 600,000 of annual taxable income, an employee loses the lower bands: the 0% band first, then 10%, 15% and 20% at 700,000, 800,000 and 900,000. Above EGP 1.2 million, tax is 25% up to 1.2 million and 27.5% above it.
Is the Martyrs' Fund deducted from salaries?
Yes. Law 4/2021 requires employers to deduct 0.05% of each employee's gross monthly salary for the Martyrs' and Victims' Fund. A salary of EGP 30,000 pays EGP 15.
How do I turn a net salary offer into a gross salary?
Choose Net → Gross and enter the take-home pay you agreed. The calculator finds the lowest gross salary that gives that net after insurance, tax and the Martyrs' Fund, and shows the employer's total cost.
