Questions
Which rules does SalaryEG use?
Income Tax Law 91/2005 as amended by Laws 30/2023 and 7/2024 (the EGP 20,000 personal exemption and the progressive brackets), Social Insurance Law 148/2019 with the 2026 insurable wage limits (EGP 2,700 to 16,700), the 1% Emergency Fund and the 0.05% Martyrs' Fund. The calculation reproduces real HR payroll sheets to the piastre.
How does bulk payroll work?
Download the Excel template, enter one employee per row (gross or net, allowances, additions and deductions), upload it, review the table, calculate, then download the results workbook and payslips. Saved runs can be duplicated for the next month.
Is my employees' data safe?
Each company's data is isolated at the database level, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never used for anything else. You can export or delete everything from Settings at any time.
How do I pay?
Create an account, choose a plan, then pay by bank transfer or InstaPay and submit the transfer reference. Your plan is activated as soon as the payment is confirmed, normally the same working day. Online card payment is coming soon.
Can I calculate net to gross?
Yes. Set the basis to Net and SalaryEG finds the gross salary that gives that take-home pay, for one employee or a whole payroll run.
