Salary and Work Calculators

Net from gross for employees, hourly pricing for freelancers, and the Israeli VAT status question

Three money questions that come up at the same moment, in one place. Net from gross: enter a salary and your number of tax credit points and see exactly what comes off, income tax by bracket, national insurance, health insurance and pension, and the other direction too, how much gross you need to reach a given net. Hourly pricing: what to charge per hour once holidays, expenses and tax are taken into account. And exempt dealer or licensed dealer: which status fits you at your expected turnover. The brackets and the national insurance rates come from the Israeli Ministry of Finance table rather than from an estimate, and the source and its date are shown inside the tool.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the numbers come from?

From the Ministry of Finance wages division table, the one payroll software works from. The source and the month the table carries are shown under the calculation, and there is an automated test that fails if the figures go stale.

Why do I have to enter tax credit points?

Because they depend on children and their ages, military service, immigration and a degree, and they cannot be guessed from a salary. The exact number is on your payslip and on form 101. The default is the 2.25 every resident gets, and there are buttons for quick additions.

Will the net here match my payslip?

Close, and usually slightly lower. The tax credit on pension contributions is not modelled here, because it depends on ceilings and on the fund type, so this is a conservative estimate. Company car value, overtime and other benefits are not included either.

Can I work backwards from net to gross?

Yes. Pick net to gross, enter what you want to take home, and get the gross you need to ask for. Particularly useful in a salary negotiation.

Does this replace an accountant?

No. It gives an accurate picture of the brackets and the fixed deductions, which is enough for planning and for a negotiation. A complex personal situation, a tax coordination or a refund needs a professional.
