Real tax rate

Summary
If you make E£ 68,700 a year living in Egypt, you will be taxed E£ 12,006. That means that your net pay will be E£ 56,694 per year, or E£ 4,725 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.5% and your marginal tax rate is 26.2%. 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£ 26.16, hence, your net pay will only increase by E£ 73.84.
