Israeli Stock Options Tax Calculator
Verified99/100Calculate the exact tax an Israeli tech employee will pay on stock options and RSUs under Section 102 of the Income Tax Ordinance. Covers exercise, sale, and exit events (acquisition, IPO, secondary sale). Produces a detailed tax breakdown showing gross gain, employment income portion (marginal rate), capital gains portion (25%), surtax (3%+2% above threshold), Bituach Leumi, and net proceeds after tax. Compares capital gains track vs income track side-by-side. Use when an employee asks how much tax they will owe on options, when a startup exit is approaching and they want to know net proceeds, or when deciding between capital gains and income tracks. Do NOT use for crypto taxation (use israeli-crypto-tax-reporter), company-side ESOP setup (use israeli-startup-toolkit), controlling shareholder profit extraction (use israeli-corporate-tax-strategy), annual tax return filing (use israeli-tax-returns), or payroll calculations (use israeli-payroll-calculator).

Israeli tech employees receive stock options or RSUs as a significant part of their compensation, but most have no idea how much tax they will actually pay when they exercise or sell. The rules under Section 102 are complex: different tracks (capital gains vs income), a 24-month trustee holding period, surtax thresholds, and Bituach Leumi interactions all affect the final number. Getting it wrong can mean paying tens of thousands of shekels more than necessary, or worse, facing unexpected tax bills at exit.
