Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer E£ 360 to pay you E£ 1,963. In other words, every time you spend E£ 10 of your hard-earned money, E£ 2.97 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.4% tax rate now rises to 25.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make E£ 23,556 a year living in Egypt, you will be taxed E£ 2,685. That means that your net pay will be E£ 20,871 per year, or E£ 1,739 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.4% 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£ 23.33, hence, your net pay will only increase by E£ 76.67.
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£ 3,834 of net incomes.
