Most Egyptian companies run HR across Excel, paper files and WhatsApp. An HR system brings employee files, attendance, leave and payroll into one database, in Arabic, with approvals and a record of every change.
- Arabic and English payslips, contracts and reports
- Attendance from biometric devices, a kiosk or a mobile app
- Leave types and balances that follow your policy
- Payroll that calculates deductions and posts to accounting
Payroll: social insurance and income tax
Egyptian payroll combines social insurance, progressive income tax and a small Martyrs Fund contribution. As of 2026, the employee pays 11% and the employer 18.75% of the insurable wage, which sits between EGP 2,700 and EGP 16,700 a month. HRPrimes configures these rules in Odoo Payroll and validates them with your Finance team before go-live. Limits and brackets change, so always confirm current figures with your payroll adviser.
Start small and add modules when you are ready
Most clients start with Employees, Attendance, Time Off and Payroll, then add Recruitment, Appraisals and the employee portal. Each module solves a specific problem and works on its own.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the system handle Egyptian social insurance and income tax?
Yes. Odoo Payroll is configured with the social insurance rates and income-tax brackets your payroll uses, and the setup is validated with your HR and Finance team before go-live. Rates and limits change, so they are kept as configurable values.
Can employees see payslips and request leave from their phones?
Yes, through the employee portal, which opens in any mobile or desktop browser. The portal is a custom SoftPrimes development and needs Odoo.sh or a server that allows custom modules.
Can I estimate net salary before implementing anything?
Yes. Our free Egypt net salary calculator shows take-home pay and employer cost from a gross salary. It is an estimate for planning, not a payroll record.
