What the calculator counts

  • Israeli resident: 2.25 points. Women: another half point.
  • Children, by the age the child reaches in the tax year. Mothers and fathers have different tables for children from 6.
  • A child who is paralysed, blind or has an intellectual disability: 2 more points.
  • New immigrants: points by the months since aliyah, up to 54 months.
  • Discharged soldiers: up to 2 points a year for 36 months after service.
  • Bachelor's, master's or a professional diploma: from the year after you finish.

The calculator does not cover single parents, reservists, residents of qualifying towns or points for a partner. If any of these apply, you have more points.

What to do with the result

  1. Check how many credit points your employer applied on your payslip.
  2. If it is fewer than the calculator shows, fill in an updated Form 101 with your employer and attach certificates.
  3. For earlier years, apply for a tax refund — up to 6 years back.
