How it was calculated
- 1Insurable wage: EGP 10,000, kept between the legal minimum (EGP 2,700) and maximum (EGP 16,700).
- 2Employee insurance is deducted before tax. Annual taxable income = (gross − employee insurance) × 12 − EGP 20,000 personal exemption = EGP 86,800.
- 3Annual income tax on that amount = EGP 7,110, withheld as one twelfth each month.
- 4The Martyrs Fund (0.05%) is taken from the gross salary.
What this estimate assumes
- A resident employee with one employer and a fixed monthly salary.
- Social insurance at 11% for the employee and 18.75% for the employer, on an insurable wage between EGP 2,700 and EGP 16,700 a month (limits effective 1 January 2026; they are revised each January).
- Income-tax brackets applied to annual taxable income, with an EGP 20,000 annual personal exemption.
- The Martyrs Fund is calculated on the gross monthly salary. Your payroll may apply it to a different base.
- Not included: stamp duty that applies to some public-sector entities, deductions for health or life insurance premiums, higher exemptions for people with disabilities, loans, advances, bonuses paid in other months, and non-resident rules.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is net salary calculated in Egypt?
Start from the gross salary. Deduct the employee's social insurance (11% of the insurable wage), then calculate income tax on the annual amount that remains after the EGP 20,000 personal exemption, using progressive brackets from 0% to 27.5%. A small Martyrs Fund contribution (0.05%) is also deducted. What is left is the net salary.
What are the social insurance limits in 2026?
From 1 January 2026, the insurable wage is at least EGP 2,700 and at most EGP 16,700 a month, according to the National Organization for Social Insurance. The employee pays 11% and the employer 18.75% of that wage.
Who pays the employer's share of social insurance?
The employer pays it on top of the salary. It is not deducted from the employee, but it is part of what the salary costs the company, so the calculator shows it as part of the total employer cost.
Is this calculator the same as my payslip?
No. It is an estimate based on standard rules. Your payslip may differ because of your contract, allowances that are outside the insurable wage, other exemptions, loans or the way your payroll applies the Martyrs Fund. Check your payroll with your HR, finance or tax adviser.
Can payroll be calculated automatically for every employee?
Yes. HRPrimes configures Odoo Payroll with your salary structures, social insurance and income-tax rules, reviews them with your HR and Finance team, and posts the results to accounting.
Stop calculating payroll by hand
HRPrimes sets up Odoo Payroll with your own rules, in Arabic and English, so every payslip is calculated the same way every month.
