Income tax on salaries
Annual taxable income = annual gross salary − employee social insurance − the EGP 20,000 personal exemption, taxed in brackets:
| Annual bracket | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 40,000 | 0% |
| 40,000 – 55,000 | 10% |
| 55,000 – 70,000 | 15% |
| 70,000 – 200,000 | 20% |
| 200,000 – 400,000 | 22.5% |
| 400,000 – 1,200,000 | 25% |
| Over 1,200,000 | 27.5% |
Above EGP 600,000 of taxable income the lower brackets are lost step by step (taxed at higher rates), and above 1,200,000 everything up to 1,200,000 is taxed at 25%. The calculator applies this for you.
A further 0.05% of gross salary goes to the Martyrs' Fund.
