Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer E£ 1,763 to pay you E£ 16,441. In other words, every time you spend E£ 10 of your hard-earned money, E£ 3.18 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21% tax rate now rises to 28.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make E£ 197,292 a year living in Egypt, you will be taxed E£ 41,510. That means that your net pay will be E£ 155,782 per year, or E£ 12,982 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.0% and your marginal tax rate is 20.0%. 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£ 20, hence, your net pay will only increase by E£ 80.
Bonus Example
A E£ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra E£ 800 of net incomes. A E£ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra E£ 4,000 of net incomes.
