Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer E£ 455 to pay you E£ 2,425. In other words, every time you spend E£ 10 of your hard-earned money, E£ 3.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.2% tax rate now rises to 26.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make E£ 29,100 a year living in Egypt, you will be taxed E£ 3,542. That means that your net pay will be E£ 25,558 per year, or E£ 2,130 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.2% and your marginal tax rate is 14.6%. 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£ 14.60, hence, your net pay will only increase by E£ 85.40.
Bonus Example
A E£ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra E£ 854 of net incomes. A E£ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra E£ 4,270 of net incomes.
