Real tax rate

Summary
If you make E£ 18,936 a year living in Egypt, you will be taxed E£ 1,607. That means that your net pay will be E£ 17,329 per year, or E£ 1,444 per month. Your average tax rate is 8.5% and your marginal tax rate is 23.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of E£ 100 in your salary will be taxed E£ 23.34, hence, your net pay will only increase by E£ 76.66.
Bonus Example
A E£ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra E£ 767 of net incomes. A E£ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra E£ 3,833 of net incomes.
