Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer E£ 309 to pay you E£ 1,828. In other words, every time you spend E£ 10 of your hard-earned money, E£ 2.74 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.5% tax rate now rises to 23.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make E£ 21,936 a year living in Egypt, you will be taxed E£ 2,307. That means that your net pay will be E£ 19,629 per year, or E£ 1,636 per month. Your average tax rate is 10.5% 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.
