Israel Income Tax 2026 — How It Works

Israel's income tax system uses 7 progressive brackets with rates from 10% to 50%. A credit point system reduces the final tax bill: each point is worth approximately ₪2,904/year. National Insurance (Bituach Leumi) adds a further contribution. New immigrants benefit from a 10-year exemption on foreign-source income, which can be transformative for those with offshore assets or business income.

Calculation Formula

Taxable Income = Israeli-source gross income (foreign income exempt for olim)
Income Tax = Apply 7 brackets (10%–50%)
Credit Points Value = credit points × ₪2,904
Income Tax Final = max(0, Tax − Credit Points Value)
National Insurance = 3.5% × min(income, ₪90,264) + 12% × max(0, income − ₪90,264), capped at ₪562,680

Example: Israeli resident, ₪300,000, 2.25 credit points

10% × ₪84,120 = ₪8,412
14% × ₪36,600 = ₪5,124
20% × ₪73,080 = ₪14,616
31% × ₪6,200 = ₪1,922
Total bracket tax: ₪30,074
Credit points: 2.25 × ₪2,904 = ₪6,534
Income tax: ₪30,074 − ₪6,534 = ₪23,540
Bituach Leumi: ₪3,159 + (₪209,736 × 12%) = ₪28,327

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Israel's income tax brackets for 2026?
Israel has 7 progressive income tax brackets for 2026: 10% on ₪0–₪84,120, 14% on ₪84,120–₪120,720, 20% on ₪120,720–₪193,800, 31% on ₪193,800–₪269,280, 35% on ₪269,280–₪560,280, 47% on ₪560,280–₪721,560, and 50% on all income above ₪721,560. Brackets are updated annually for inflation (Madad adjustment).
What is the new immigrant (oleh chadash) tax exemption in Israel?
New immigrants (olim chadashim) and returning residents (toshav chozer) receive a 10-year tax exemption on all income earned abroad — including foreign-source dividends, interest, rental income, and capital gains. Israeli-source income is taxed normally from day one. This makes Israel extremely tax-attractive for new immigrants with significant foreign income or assets.
How does National Insurance (Bituach Leumi) work in Israel?
National Insurance (Bituach Leumi) contributions in Israel are income-graduated: 3.5% on income up to ₪7,522/month (₪90,264/year), and 12% on income above that threshold, up to a maximum of approximately ₪46,890/month (₪562,680/year). There is a ceiling above which no additional National Insurance is charged. Health insurance (Kupat Holim) is bundled into Bituach Leumi contributions.
What tax credits are available in Israel?
Israel uses a credit point (nequdot zikui) system. Each credit point was worth approximately ₪2,904/year in 2026. A standard Israeli resident receives 2.25 credit points (₪6,534/year credit), while a working woman receives an additional 0.5 point credit. Additional points are available for children, new immigrants (1 extra point), disabled persons, and other circumstances.
Is investment income taxed differently in Israel?
Yes. Capital gains and dividends from Israeli companies are generally taxed at 25% (or 30% for shareholders with 10%+ stake), which is typically lower than the top income tax rate of 50%. Interest income from Israeli bank deposits is taxed at 15–25% depending on type. Foreign-source investment income may be exempt during the 10-year new immigrant exemption period.
