Increment rate


Dear employers, please note that this increment is an integral part of the reserve service benefit due to employees, and by law it must be paid to employees even if they have stopped working for you.

Increment rate according to your increased wage will be calculated as follows:

  1. Amount of monthly income in the month of service x 3, divided by 90 = daily wage.
  2. Daily wage x number of days for calculating the benefit (as detailed in the table below) = new benefit amount.
  3. Difference between the reserve service benefit received by your employer or by you as self-employed and the new benefit = increment rate.

7 days 7 days (no additional days)


For instance: Moshe earned NIS 9,000 in the month of service and served one day, and his employer received a reserve service benefit of NIS 289.

  • His daily wage: 9,000 x 3 divided by 90 = NIS 300.
  • Number of days for the calculation of the benefit for those who served one day - 1.4 days.
  • New benefit amount: 1.4 x 300 = NIS 420.
  • Increment rate: 420 - 289 = NIS 131.
