2025 Reference Value Update Report: Living Wage Report for Urban Egypt
Abstract
This report updates the Anker Living Wage Reference Value for urban Egypt to 2025. In the original report, the value for 2024 was EGP 12,448 (USD 266) per month. The updated Anker Living Wage for 2025 is EGP 14,624 (USD 292) per month, consisting of a Net Living Wage of EGP 11,483 (USD 229) and EGP 3,141 (USD 63) for mandatory social security contributions and income tax. This update reflects cumulative inflation of 14.4% between June 2024 and June 2025. Mandatory deductions were calculated using the most current tax regulations. Without adjusting for inflation, the 2024 estimate would not provide workers and their families with a basic but decent standard of living in 2025, as its purchasing power would have declined.
