Assumptions

- · Social insurance contributions (11% employee) are calculated on earned income capped at the maximum social insurance salary (EGP 16,700 for 2026) and are deductible from taxable income.
- · Martyrs Fund contribution (0.05% of gross salary) is modeled as a separate mandatory payroll deduction, non-deductible.
- · Electronic invoice incentive (up to 5% of income tax) is not included in the default model due to variability based on documentation compliance.
- · Non-resident taxation and alternative private insurance schemes are not included; model assumes resident employee.
- · Life/health insurance and pension insurance deductions (capped at 15% of net revenue or EGP 10,000) are not included in the default model.
- · First EGP 40,000 bracket shows 0% tax but this is superseded by the personal allowance mechanism for income determination purposes.
