Methodology

A transparent breakdown of how the RSU Tax Calculator estimates taxes for Israeli residents.

Key assumptions

Section 102 plan uses 47% income tax at vest and 25% capital gains at sale.
Non-102 plan uses 47% income tax at vest and 47% income tax at sale.
Average 30-day price before vest is used as cost basis.
No personal deductions, credits, or special tax treatments included.

Formula overview

Total value at sale = shares × sale price.
Cost basis = shares × 30-day average price.
Vest income = cost basis.
Capital gain = total value at sale − cost basis.
Estimated tax = income tax on vest + capital tax on gain.

What is not included

Broker commissions, FX spreads, or local bank fees.
Special tax reliefs, immigration incentives, or personal deductions.
