How is it calculated?

The calculator compares your gross salary against the decile boundaries published in the National Insurance Institute's latest wage report (first half of 2025 — actual employer-filing data covering about 4 million employees), with linear interpolation between boundaries. The result is an estimate, not an exact measurement.

Note that the distribution covers employees only and monthly gross pay. Self-employment income, capital income and part-time salaries change the picture — and gaps between industries, seniority and regions are large.

Frequently asked questions

How much do you need to earn to be in Israel's top decile in 2026?

A gross monthly salary of roughly ₪31,100 or more places an employee in the top decile, per the National Insurance Institute's wage report. The top percentile requires far more — tens of thousands of shekels a month.

Why is the average salary higher than the median?

Because a small number of very high earners pull the average up. The median — about ₪10,600 — better represents the typical employee: half of all employees earn less than it.

Does the comparison include the self-employed?

No. The deciles are based on gross salaries of employees only. Self-employment, capital and rental income are not part of this distribution.
