Step 2: Egypt Employer Statutory Contributions
On top of the net salary, add Egypt's legal employer obligations: Social Insurance (18.75%), Martyrs Fund (0.05%), Annual Leave Reserve, and Medical Insurance.
This step adds Egypt's statutory employer obligations — SI (Law 148/2019), Martyrs Fund (Circular 61/2024), 30-day Leave Reserve (Law 12), and Medical (EGP 15,000/yr). WEM operational fees come in Step 3.

The figures presented by this calculator are indicative and for guidance purposes only. They do not constitute legal, financial, tax, or accounting advice and must not be relied upon as such.
Variable factors: All calculations are based on statutory rates, government fees, and exchange rates current at the time of publication and are subject to change without notice. Actual costs may vary by ±15–30% depending on individual employee circumstances, company classification, applicable Saudization/Emiratization/Bahrainization requirements, collective agreements, and applicable law in the relevant jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction-specific: Labor law, social insurance regulations, residency fees, and end-of-service entitlements vary across GCC states and are subject to ongoing legislative reform. Users should verify all figures against current official sources and seek qualified local legal and HR counsel before making employment or commercial decisions.
Egypt: Egyptian Social Insurance rates are governed by Law No. 148/2019 (insurable wage range EGP 2,700 — 16,700 per month, 2026 update). Income tax brackets per Law No. 7/2024 with stepped exclusion applied to incomes above EGP 600,000 annually. Labour-law requirements follow Law No. 14 of 2025 (in force since 1 September 2025), which sets the recommended minimum gross wage at EGP 8,000/month (EGP 7,000 remains the decreed private-sector floor), a mandatory 3% periodic raise (or EGP 250 floor), and a hourly minimum of EGP 28 for part-time staff. Insurable wage ceiling is updated annually by the National Social Insurance Authority and is subject to change each January.
Taxes on the WEM invoice: WEM's service to a client established outside Egypt is treated as an export of services and is accordingly billed without Egyptian VAT; this treatment would change only if the Egyptian VAT legislation or a new statutory text so requires. Separately, your own jurisdiction may impose withholding tax on service payments to a non-resident; where it does, invoices are payable gross of withholding — the amount WEM receives must equal the invoiced amount — unless the signed Service Agreement states otherwise. Egypt-resident clients are billed with 14% Egyptian VAT (see the Egypt EOR page).
WEM Business Services L.L.C accepts no liability for decisions made on the basis of these estimates. Binding commercial terms are set out exclusively in the WEM Service Agreement signed between the parties.

الضرائب على فاتورة WEM: تُعامَل خدمة WEM المقدَّمة لعميل مقيم خارج مصر باعتبارها تصدير خدمات، ومن ثمّ تُصدَر الفاتورة بدون ضريبة القيمة المضافة المصرية؛ ولا يتغيّر هذا إلا إذا استلزم ذلك تعديل في قانون الضريبة على القيمة المضافة أو نص تشريعي جديد. وبشكل منفصل، قد تفرض دولتك ضريبة خصم من المنبع على المدفوعات لغير المقيمين؛ وفي هذه الحالة تُسدَّد الفواتير بالإجمالي قبل الخصم — بحيث يكون المبلغ الذي تستلمه WEM مساوياً للمبلغ المفوتر — ما لم ينص اتفاق الخدمة الموقّع على غير ذلك. أما العملاء المقيمون في مصر فتُصدَر لهم الفواتير شاملةً ضريبة القيمة المضافة ١٤٪ (انظر صفحة EOR مصر).

Calculate the real cost of ending a contract in Egypt. For fixed-term contracts, early termination without valid cause means paying the wages of the whole remaining period (Law 14/2025, Art. 154). Covers probation, documented cause, natural expiry, and Art. 88 rollover.
Max 3 months by law. Within probation = leave only.

Termination Cost Breakdown
What does ending a contract in Egypt actually cost?
Egypt has no employer end-of-service gratuity — retirement is funded through social insurance (Law 148/2019). For a fixed-term contract the real exposure is the wages of the remaining period if you end it early without valid documented cause (Art. 154):
Fixed-term, early, no cause
Pay the remaining months (Art. 154)
End a 12-month contract after month 4 → owe ~8 months' wages. This payment IS the compensation — no separate EOS or notice on top. A contract may pre-agree a floor of ≥ 2 months.
Probation · Expiry · Documented cause
Leave cash-out only
Removal within probation (≤3 months), letting the term expire without renewing, or a genuine documented Art. 69 misconduct → only unused leave is owed, no remaining-period.
The Art. 88 trap
Rollover → indefinite = costlier
If the worker keeps working past the term with no NEW written contract, it converts to indefinite: ending it then costs notice (2–3 months) + ≥ 2 months' wage per year of service. Always re-paper on time.
WEM Note:Termination costs are not pre-funded in your monthly invoice — charged only at actual. The cheapest clean exit is letting the fixed term expire without renewing; the most expensive is mid-term removal without documented cause.
