Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer E£ 1,076 to pay you E£ 5,740. In other words, every time you spend E£ 10 of your hard-earned money, E£ 3.62 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.5% tax rate now rises to 30.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make E£ 68,880 a year living in Egypt, you will be taxed E£ 12,053. That means that your net pay will be E£ 56,827 per year, or E£ 4,736 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.
Bonus Example
A E£ 1,000 bonus will generate an extra E£ 738 of net incomes. A E£ 5,000 bonus will generate an extra E£ 3,692 of net incomes.
