Everything on this page is in Egyptian pound (EGP, symbol £), which lets you compare numbers like-for-like without worrying about exchange rates.
The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay. Most reported salaries include the benefits that are common in Egypt, such as housing or transport allowances, which is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing against a country where those are usually paid on top.
How much does a full stack developer make in Egypt?
A typical full stack developer working in Egypt brings home around 8,673 EGP a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 49,560 EGP, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 159,400 EGP for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.
The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior full stack developer working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.
How full stack developer 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 full stack developers in Egypt earn less than 104,620 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 67,800 EGP (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 136,100 EGP (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of full stack developers sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.
The very lowest reported salaries sit around 49,560 EGP. The highest stretch to 159,400 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.
Full stack developer pay by experience in Egypt
Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a full stack developer 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 full stack developer salary changes as you move through the career ladder.
- 0-2 Years57,820 EGP
- 2-5 Years+35% from previous78,160 EGP
- 5-10 Years+35% from previous105,300 EGP

- 15-20 Years+8% from previous138,800 EGP
- 20+ Years+8% from previous150,000 EGP
The single largest jump on the ladder is from 0 - 2 Years to 2 - 5 Years, where pay rises by about 35%. That is the point at which a full stack developer 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.
Full stack developer pay by education in Egypt
Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving full stack developer 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.

Full stack developer gender pay gap in Egypt
The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Egypt is no exception. Male full stack developers in Egypt earn an average of 107,380 EGP a year, while female full stack developers earn around 93,600 EGP. That works out to a 15% 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.
