How the estimate works
Social insurance: the employee's share is 14% of gross salary, deducted from pay. The employer pays a further 18.75% on top as a company cost — it doesn't reduce take-home pay.
Taxable income: the yearly gross, minus the employee's social insurance and the EGP 15,000 personal exemption.
Income tax: charged on taxable income in the progressive bands below, then spread evenly across the twelve months.
These are the defaults Kayan's own payroll engine uses. The estimate charges social insurance on the full gross — it doesn't apply the legal minimum and maximum insurable wage — and doesn't model allowances, bonuses or other exemptions. Confirm final figures with a payroll specialist.
| Taxable income (per year) | Tax rate |
|---|---|
| EGP 0 – EGP 40,000 | 0% |
| EGP 40,000 – EGP 55,000 | 10% |
| EGP 55,000 – EGP 70,000 | 15% |
| EGP 70,000 – EGP 200,000 | 20% |
| EGP 200,000 – EGP 400,000 | 22.5% |
| Above EGP 400,000 | 25% |
Common questions
How is salary income tax calculated in Egypt?
Tax is charged on yearly taxable income — gross pay minus the employee's social insurance and a personal exemption — in progressive bands from 0% to 25%. This calculator uses the bands and exemption in Kayan's payroll engine, shown in the table on this page.
How much social insurance is deducted from salary?
This estimate deducts 14% of gross salary for the employee and adds 18.75% for the employer — Kayan's payroll defaults; you can adjust the employee share in the calculator. The law also sets a minimum and maximum insurable wage, which this calculator doesn't apply.
Does Kayan run payroll?
Yes, on plans that include Payroll: employee contracts, income tax and social insurance withheld on every pay run, overtime and deductions folded in, and journal entries posted to the ledger, with a bank export file when you're ready to pay.
Do this automatically in Kayan.
Kayan's payroll withholds income tax and social insurance on every pay run and posts it to the books — no spreadsheet.
