How cost accounting supervisor pay ranges in Egypt

A good way to think about salary in Egypt is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all cost accounting supervisors in Egypt earn less than 113,700 EGP a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 77,860 EGP (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 143,200 EGP (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of cost accounting supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 60,460 EGP. The highest stretch to 183,600 EGP, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Cost accounting supervisor pay by experience in Egypt

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a cost accounting supervisor in Egypt, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical cost accounting supervisor salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    69,260 EGP
  • 2-5 Years

    161,600 EGP
  • 20+ Years

    172,200 EGP

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 0 - 2 Years to 2 - 5 Years, where pay rises by about 36%. That is the point at which a cost accounting supervisor typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Cost accounting supervisor pay by education in Egypt

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving cost accounting supervisor pay in Egypt. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Cost accounting supervisor gender pay gap in Egypt

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Egypt is no exception. Male cost accounting supervisors in Egypt earn an average of 129,000 EGP a year, while female cost accounting supervisors earn around 115,560 EGP. That works out to a 12% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.
