Net Salary After Tax Calculator

Net Salary After Tax Calculator: A Complete Breakdown of Deductions

The salary you receive at the end of the month is less than the figure written in your contract, and the difference comes from mandatory deductions including social insurance, income tax, and sometimes health insurance. Understanding these deductions in detail enables accurate financial planning and informed salary negotiations.

Components of Deductions from Gross Salary

1. Social Insurance and Pensions

Under Social Insurance and Pensions Law No. 148 of 2019: - **Employee contribution:** 11% of insurable wage - **Employer contribution:** 18.75% of insurable wage

The insurable wage includes the basic salary and variable components within minimum and maximum limits set annually by the National Authority for Social Insurance.

2. Income Tax (2026 Brackets)

Calculated on annual income after deducting insurance and personal exemption: - Up to EGP 40,000: Exempt - EGP 40,001–55,000: 10% - EGP 55,001–70,000: 15% - EGP 70,001–200,000: 20% - EGP 200,001–400,000: 22.5% - Above EGP 400,000: 27.5%

3. Health Insurance

Some companies deduct health insurance contributions from the salary (typically 0.5% to 1.5%).

Detailed Example: EGP 15,000 Monthly Salary

**Monthly gross:** EGP 15,000 **Insurance deduction (11%):** EGP 1,650 **Salary after insurance:** EGP 13,350

**Annual taxable income:** 13,350 × 12 = EGP 160,200 **Annual tax calculation:** - First EGP 40,000: exempt - EGP 40,001–55,000 (×10%): EGP 1,500 - EGP 55,001–70,000 (×15%): EGP 2,250 - EGP 70,001–160,200 (×20%): EGP 18,040 - **Total annual tax:** EGP 21,790 - **Monthly tax:** EGP 1,816

**Monthly net salary:** 15,000 - 1,650 - 1,816 = **EGP 11,534**

Employee vs. Freelancer Comparison

• **Employee:** Insurance and tax are automatically deducted at source (Pay-As-You-Earn)
• **Freelancer/Self-employed:** Bears both the employee and employer insurance shares (29.75%) and files an independent annual tax return

Exemptions That Reduce Your Taxable Base

• Annual personal exemption of EGP 40,000
• Life insurance premiums and contributions to approved savings funds (maximum 15% of net income)
• Donations to accredited organizations

Always calculate your net salary before signing any employment contract to avoid surprises and plan accurately.
