Every Egypt payroll item that has to land in a salary rule, a bank file, or a statutory report, printed in full with its verification state.
5 items Printed as checked, not condensed.
What Egypt payroll has to calculate, withhold and file
Each item below becomes a salary rule, a bank file, or a report we test before the first live run.
- 1
Social insurance is charged on the social insurance salary at 18.75% for the employer and 11% for the employee.
- 2
The insurable wage band effective 1 January 2026 runs from EGP 2,700 to EGP 16,700 per month. The cap is reset annually, so payroll needs the band as a dated parameter, not a hard-coded number.
- 3
Health insurance subscription is charged at 4% employer and 1% employee for basic cover, on top of social insurance.
- 4
Labour Law No. 14 of 2025 took effect on 1 September 2025, with labour dispute provisions from 1 October 2025.
- 5
Under Labour Law No. 14 of 2025 employers must grant an annual salary increment of at least 3% of the social insured salary, with temporary exemptions available for eligible employers. That is a recurring payroll rule, not a one-off.

Rates, formats, thresholds and submission windows change. We configure against the rules in force at build time and confirm every figure with your accountant or tax advisor before sign-off. If a rule moves after go-live, it is a support ticket, not a rebuild. Read more on our Odoo localization service.
How we build payroll for Egypt
The delivery method behind the list above. The same four steps on a 10-user rollout and on a multi-company programme, with the depth scaled to the scope.
- 1 Rules, not hard-coded numbers. Contributions and deductions are built as Odoo salary rules with dated parameters, so a rate change is a configuration edit rather than a code release.
- 2 Employee data gets audited first. Bank details, national identifiers, start dates and contract types. Bad master data is why most payroll go-lives slip, and it is cheap to fix early.
- 3 One parallel run, minimum. We run at least one cycle alongside your current system and reconcile it line by line with your HR and finance leads before switching over.
- 4 Bank files tested with the bank. Payment files and statutory reports are generated from Odoo and put through your bank as a test batch before the first live run.
What we need from you to quote it
Bring these to the first call and you get a scoped, priced payroll plan for Egypt instead of a range.
- โ A full payslip for each contract type you run, from your current system.
