Illustration by baba

What happened

  1. 01July paychecks show no significant income improvement for most Israeli workers.
  2. 02Vacation pay in the private sector remains unchanged, disappointing employees.
  3. 03Tax bracket changes benefit only high earners above 16,150 shekels gross monthly.
  4. 04Most workers earn below this threshold, so net income stays nearly the same.
  5. 05Rising general prices and fuel costs offset any small paycheck increases.
