Monthly salary processing, income tax, social insurance, and all statutory filings — accurate, on time, every month. So you never have to think about it.
Egyptian payroll involves monthly income tax withholding, social insurance contributions to NOSI (Law 148/2019), quarterly Form 4 salary returns, and annual reconciliation. We handle every piece.

Rates and brackets are updated periodically. Staffona monitors all regulatory changes and implements them at once.
Egyptian payroll is one of the most technically demanding HR functions — multiple authorities, strict deadlines, and frequent regulatory changes.
Egyptian payroll touches the Labor Office, NOSI (social insurance), and the Egyptian Tax Authority — each with their own deadlines and formats. Staffona manages all three.
Tax brackets, NOSI caps, and Form 4 formats change regularly. Keeping up internally requires constant monitoring. We do this automatically for all clients.
Late NOSI remittance and tax filing carry monetary penalties. Staffona runs on strict monthly calendars and has never missed a filing deadline for a client.
Payroll is processed to a fixed monthly schedule. Employees receive digital payslips on payday. Variances are reconciled before processing, not after.
No need to hire, train, or retain an in-house payroll accountant. Staffona provides the expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Whether you have 1 employee or 100, the process is identical. Add new employees mid-month with no extra setup. Remove employees cleanly with proper exit documentation.
By the 20th of each month, you confirm any salary changes, bonuses, or new joiners. We handle the rest.
Gross-to-net calculations, income tax withholding, NOSI contributions, and any deductions — all computed and reviewed for accuracy.
Digital payslips sent to each employee. You receive a single consolidated payment summary and invoice by the 25th.
NOSI contributions remitted and ETA filings submitted before their respective deadlines. You receive confirmation every month.
Employers contribute 18.75% of gross salary to NOSI. Employees contribute 11%. Total social insurance is 29.75%. Staffona calculates, remits, and files all NOSI contributions on your behalf every month.
Egypt uses a progressive income tax: 0% up to EGP 40,000 annual income, 10% up to EGP 55,000, 15% up to EGP 70,000, 20% up to EGP 200,000, 22.5% up to EGP 400,000, and 25% above EGP 400,000.
Yes. Payroll is processed in EGP for Egyptian regulatory purposes. Client invoices are issued in USD, AED, GBP, or EUR as preferred. We handle all exchange rate conversions.
Pro-rated salaries are calculated based on working days. NOSI registration or de-registration is handled immediately. No additional fees for mid-month changes.
Form 4 (Nموذج 4) is Egypt's quarterly salary return submitted to the Egyptian Tax Authority. It reports all employee salaries and tax withheld for the quarter. Staffona prepares and submits it quarterly — always on time.
No. If you don't have an Egyptian entity, Staffona can provide the payroll service as part of our managed employment (EOR) offering — we become the legal employer and handle all payroll, NOSI, and tax on your behalf. Learn about managed employment →
