Egypt Salary Calculator
Estimate for a full month under the Income Tax Law and Social Insurance Law 148 of 2019, assuming the insurable wage is the gross salary within the minimum and maximum limits.
How your net salary is calculated
- Insurable wage: the gross salary, kept between the 2026 minimum of EGP 2,700 and maximum of EGP 16,700 a month.
- Employee social insurance: 11% of the insurable wage. The employer pays a further 18.75%, which is not deducted from the salary.
- Taxable income: (gross salary − employee social insurance) × 12, minus the annual personal exemption of EGP 20,000.
- Income tax: the annual brackets below, divided by 12 for the monthly deduction.
- Martyrs Fund: 0.05% of the gross salary (EGP 5 for every EGP 10,000).
Net salary = gross salary − employee social insurance − income tax − Martyrs Fund.
Income tax brackets in Egypt (2026)
| Annual taxable income (EGP) | Tax rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 40,000 | 0% |
| 40,001 – 55,000 | 10% |
| 55,001 – 70,000 | 15% |
| 70,001 – 200,000 | 20% |
| 200,001 – 400,000 | 22.5% |
| 400,001 – 1,200,000 | 25% |
| Over 1,200,000 | 27.5% |
For higher incomes (above EGP 600,000 a year), the lower brackets are taxed at higher rates step by step, as set out in Law No. 7 of 2024. The calculator applies this automatically.
Example: EGP 25,000 gross a month
Insurable wage EGP 16,700 · employee social insurance EGP 1,837 · monthly income tax EGP 3,565.84 · Martyrs Fund EGP 12.50 · net salary EGP 19,584.66. The employer also pays EGP 3,131.25 social insurance, so the total monthly cost to the company is EGP 28,131.25.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between gross and net salary in Egypt?
Gross salary is the amount agreed in the contract before deductions. Net salary is what the employee receives after employee social insurance, salary income tax and the Martyrs Fund contribution are deducted.
Is the calculator updated for 2026?
Yes. It uses the insurable wage limits in force from 1 January 2026 and the income tax brackets of Law No. 7 of 2024. When a rule changes, we update the calculator from the date the change applies.
Why is my social insurance deduction less than 11% of my salary?
Social insurance is calculated on the insurable wage, which is capped at EGP 16,700 a month in 2026. Above that amount the employee deduction stays at EGP 1,837 a month.
Can I calculate the gross salary from a net amount?
Yes. Choose Net to Gross, enter the net monthly salary, and the calculator finds the gross salary that gives that net amount.
Is the result exact?
It is an estimate for a full month, for an employee whose insurable wage is the gross salary within the legal limits. Bonuses, allowances treated differently, part months or other deductions can change the result. For payroll decisions, check with your HR or finance team, or talk to us.
