Example of insurance contributions calculation

If in 2023 you earned taxable income from a foreign employer amounting to NIS 12,000 per month (NIS 144,000 per year), and had no other income, here is the calculation of national and health insurance contributions that you would have to pay:

  • Exempt income - an income of NIS 3,134 per month is not subject to insurance contributions payments. In other words, with respect to NIS 37,608 per year (3,134 multiplied by 12 months) you will not need to pay any insurance contribution.

You have to pay insurance contributions on an annual income of NIS 112,344 (144,000 - 37,608), at following rates:

  • Reduced rate - on the income share up to NIS 7,522 per month, a rate of 9.61% shall be paid. In other words, NIS 723 per month (NIS 8,208 for the whole year).
  • Full rate - on the remaining income of NIS 1,344 per month, insurance contributions shall be paid at a rate of 12% - or, NIS 161 per month (NIS 1,932 for the whole year).

Overall, for an annual income of NIS 144,000, insurance contributions amounting to NIS 10,608 per year shall be paid.
