How Income Tax Works in Egypt
Egypt taxes salaries under Law 7/2024. Taxable income = annual gross − EGP 20,000 personal exemption − your 11% social insurance contribution. Then 7 progressive brackets from 0% to 27.5%.
The brackets (annual taxable income)
| Annual taxable (EGP) | Rate |
|---|---|
| 0 – 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% |
| Above 1,200,000 | 27.5% |
Social insurance
Employees pay 11% (employer 18.75%) on insurable salary between EGP 2,700 and EGP 16,700/month for 2026 — deducted before tax.
Worked example
Monthly salary of EGP 30,000: annual = 360,000. SI = 11% × 16,700 × 12 = EGP 22,044. Taxable = 360,000 − 20,000 − 22,044 = EGP 317,956. Tax = 29,750 + 22.5% × 117,956 = EGP 56,290/year (≈EGP 4,691/month).
