Methodology

How the Calculator Works

📊

Social Insurance

Applied on insurable wage capped at EGP 16,700/mo. Employee pays 11% (pension 9% + health 1% + EOS 1%). Employer pays 18.75% on top.

💰

Income Tax

Progressive brackets 0%→27.5% per Egyptian Tax Law 2026, with high-income adjustments above EGP 600k/year. Taxable income = annual gross minus SI deductions minus personal exemption (EGP 20,000/yr) minus employer medical premiums (up to EGP 10,000/yr).

🔄

Net ↔ Gross

Switch modes to calculate from desired net take-home. Finds the exact gross needed to deliver your target net using iterative binary search — accurate to EGP 0.05.

Understanding Egyptian Payroll Taxes in 2026

Operating a business in Egypt requires strict adherence to local labor and tax regulations. The Egyptian payroll system is governed primarily by Social Insurance Law No. 148 of 2019 and the Labor Law No. 14 of 2025. Employers must accurately calculate monthly withholdings for income tax, social insurance, and various government funds like the Martyrs Fund and Emergency Fund.

Income Tax Brackets & Exemptions

The progressive tax system in Egypt ensures that lower-income earners pay a smaller percentage of their salary in taxes. In 2026, the brackets range from 0% up to 27.5% for high earners. Additionally, every employee is entitled to a personal tax exemption of EGP 20,000 per year, which is automatically factored into our calculator's logic.
