SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Israeli payroll involves progressive income tax brackets, two-tier Bituach Leumi and health tax, mandatory pension contributions, tax credit points, and tricky taxable imputed income like shovi rechev (company-car use value). Manual calculations frequently get these wrong, especially by treating shovi rechev as a cash benefit or omitting the Section 45a pension tax credit. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Gross-to-Net Calculation: Computes income tax (2026 brackets per Amendment 288), Bituach Leumi and health tax (per Amendment 252), pension deductions, and credit points to produce a payslip-style net salary breakdown. - Shovi Rechev Handling: Correctly treats company-car use value as taxable imputed income that raises the tax and NI base without adding cash, while excluding it from the pension base. - Employer Cost View: Calculates total employer cost including employer NI, 6.5% pension, and 6% severance contributions. - Use Case: An employee earning 22,000 NIS with a company car valued at 3,500 NIS asks for their net pay; the Skill computes tax on 25,500 taxable gross, applies credit points and the 35% pension credit, and returns a net of roughly 14,000 NIS with a full payslip table. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to calculate the net salary for a given gross monthly amount in NIS, optionally mentioning credit points, pension, employer cost, or a company car shovi rechev value.

Frequently Asked Questions about israeli-payroll-calculator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate net salary from gross in Israel?

Provide your gross monthly salary in NIS, tax credit points (default 2.25 for male residents, 2.75 for female), and pension status. The calculator applies 2026 progressive income tax brackets, Bituach Leumi, health tax, and 6% pension to produce a net salary breakdown.

How does a company car (shovi rechev) affect my Israeli payslip?

Shovi rechev is taxable imputed income added to your income tax and Bituach Leumi base, but it is not received as cash, so it reduces net pay. It is excluded from the pension base. Use the --shovi-rechev flag to model it correctly.

What is the pension tax credit (zikui gemel) in Israel?

Section 45a grants a 35% tax credit on employee pension contributions, capped at 7% of an insured salary ceiling of 9,700 NIS/month in 2026, for a maximum credit of about 237.65 NIS/month. Omitting it overstates monthly tax by up to roughly 238 NIS.

Does this calculator work for US or UK payroll?

No. The calculator implements only Israeli tax law: Israeli income tax brackets, Bituach Leumi rates, health tax, and Israeli pension rules. It should not be used for US, UK, or other countries' payroll calculations.

Why is my calculated tax higher than my actual payslip?

The most common cause is omitting the Section 45a pension tax credit, which payroll software applies automatically. Other causes include missing credit points for children, new immigrant status, or disability, each of which reduces tax.

Are the 2026 tax brackets and Bituach Leumi rates up to date?

The skill uses Amendment 288 brackets (20% up to 19,000 NIS, 31% up to 25,100) and Amendment 252 NI rates effective 2026. Since rates can change mid-year, verify current values against gov.il and btl.gov.il before relying on exact figures.
