    Minimum Wage and Tax Implications

    2026 Minimum Wage

    The minimum wage in Israel is ₪5,880 per month (₪33.49/hour) for a full-time position (182 hours/month). Annual income at minimum wage: ₪70,560. After applying basic credit points (2.25 points = ₪6,534 annual credit), most minimum-wage earners pay very little or no income tax.

    Example

    Minimum wage worker (single, no children): ₪70,560/year

    Tax before credits: ₪70,560 × 10% = ₪7,056

    Credit points (2.25): ₪6,534

    Net tax: ₪7,056 − ₪6,534 = ₪522/year (0.7% effective rate)

    A woman with one child: credit points 4.25 = ₪12,342 → pays ₪0 tax.
