Based on the Income Tax Law as amended (Law 7 of 2024: EGP 20,000 annual personal exemption, brackets from 0% to 27.5%) and the insurable wage limits from January 2026 (min 2,700, max 16,700 EGP). Indicative only - check with your accountant.
Salary tax brackets (annual, after personal exemption)
| Annual taxable income | 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% |
| Above 1,200,000 | 27.5% |
When annual taxable income exceeds EGP 600,000 the lower brackets are phased out (above 1.2 million, tax starts at 25% from the first pound). The calculator applies this automatically.
