The social security contribution rate is 11% of the salary, with the lower limit for national social security contributions in 2024 set at EGP 2000 and the upper limit at EGP 12600. Therefore, the employee's social security contribution should be 11% of EGP 12600, which equals 1386 EGP.



The Martyrs Family Fund contribution rate is 0.05% of the pre-tax salary, so the amount the employee should contribute to Martyrs Fund is 0.05% of 380000, which equals 190 EGP.




Employer Monthly Deductions:




Employers need to bear two main deductions each month, which are the Social Security employer share and the Emergency Relief (ER) Fund.



The enterprise social security contribution rate is 18.75% of the salary, with the lower and upper limits for national social security contributions set at EGP 2000 and EGP 12600 respectively. Therefore, the employer's social security contribution should be 18.75% of EGP 12600, which equals 2362.5 EGP.



The Emergency Relief (ER) Fund contribution rate is 1%. According to the new regulations effective April 3, 2024, the basic social security contribution salary is 2370 EGP, so the ER Fund contribution amount should be 1% of 2370 EGP, which equals 23.7 EGP.
