How much purchase tax will you pay?
Pick a profile, enter a value — and get the exact tax under the brackets in force, including the comparison every oleh should see.
Brackets valid through January 15, 2028 (single home: January 16, 2025–January 15, 2028; oleh: Reg. 12 from August 15, 2024). Sources: Israel Tax Authority (Directive 1/2025), Kol Zchut. Updated July 2026. A general estimate only — not tax advice; exact liability is reviewed for each transaction, including additional reliefs and exemptions.
How much appreciation tax will you pay?
The favorable linear calculation, exactly as the law sets it: real gain accrued through January 1, 2014 is exempt; what comes after is taxed at 25%. The calculator indexes to the CBS's actual CPI, month by month, from 1986 to today.
The calculation: s. 48A(b2) of the Real Estate Taxation Law (the favorable linear rule for a qualifying dwelling), on the CBS official CPI (series 120010, chained; updated July 2026) under the known-index rule. The estimate excludes the surtax (3%–5% above ₪721,560 of income; for a dwelling — only where the sale value exceeds ₪5,385,285) and does not evaluate the single-home exemption alternative (ceiling ₪5,008,000, frozen through December 31, 2027) or income averaging (tax spreading). Deductions are taken unindexed — a conservative estimate; the actual assessment may be lower. General information only — not tax advice.
How much betterment levy will you owe the committee?
A plan was approved that raises your land's value? The local committee collects half the increase — and in Pinui-Binui the default dropped to 25%. Enter the appraiser's before-and-after values and see the picture.
Source: the Third Addendum to the Planning and Building Law — s. 3 (half the betterment) and s. 3A (Pinui-Binui: 25% default; the council may set, by zones, 50% or a full exemption, in five-year decisions from the May 1, 2022 determining date). The betterment itself is fixed by the committee appraiser's valuation — and can be challenged. The levy is paid on realization (building permit or sale) with escalation, and exemptions exist — including expanding a home up to 140 sq m subject to a 4-year residency condition (s. 19(c)). Updated July 2026. General information only — not advice.
Is your building a fit for urban renewal?
Five questions, one minute — an initial indication of where your building stands. (A general indication, not an opinion.)
Feasibility check
1Roughly when was the building built?
2How many apartments in the building?
3Safe rooms and an elevator?
4Does a comprehensive renewal plan apply in your city (like H/619 in Holon)?
5Is there interest among the neighbors?
An initial indication only, based on your answers — not a legal or planning opinion.
A well-run deal is measured by what's locked in up front. How much is locked in yours?
Pick your track and answer seven or eight short questions. The full result appears right here — every open point with its explanation. Your answers stay with you: nothing is sent to us.
Eight things are locked down in a well-run project. How many are locked in yours?
1Is the full value of your new apartment secured by a guarantee?
2Is your rent for the construction years guaranteed and indexed?
3Are repairs covered after you get the keys?
4Is it settled who pays the taxes and levies — so it isn't you?
5Is your compensation locked in so it can't erode along the way?
6Is there a timeline with milestones and consequences for missing them?
7Was your owners' majority built to hold over the long run?
8Do the owners have independent counsel — whose duty runs to you alone?
"Not sure" counts as open. In a deal, what isn't certain isn't locked.
A general orientation tool — not legal advice and not an opinion. The result is computed in your browser only.
A conversation with a real estate lawyer, wherever you are in the process.
An apartment you're buying or selling, a building entering renewal, or a contract waiting on a decision. Leave a name and a number and a senior lawyer on the team will call you back: we hear you out and tell you what the next step is — even when it isn't with us.
