Increment rate


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.

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.
