Capital gains tax on selling an apartment
Estimate the mas shevach on the sale of an Israeli apartment, with inflation adjustment, the single apartment exemption and the linear calculation for apartments bought before 2014.
A personal tool, not professional advice. These are calculation tables I built for my own decisions and now share freely. Please check every figure and assumption yourself before relying on it.

25% of the real gain, after inflation.
The gain is spread over the time you owned the apartment. The part before 1 January 2014 is exempt: only 86.43% of the gain is taxed.

These calculators are spreadsheets I originally made for my own use, shared as they are to help you think things through. They give estimates based on the published rates for the current tax year and on the assumptions you enter, and they may contain errors or simplifications. They are not tax, legal or financial advice: check all the information yourself and with a licensed accountant, lawyer or mortgage adviser before making any decision.
