Quick VAT calculator
Enter the product price in dollars ($). The estimate updates as you type.
The estimate is calculated on the product price only and excludes customs/purchase tax above the upper threshold, shipping, and exchange-rate conversion. The information on the Israeli Tax Authority website is authoritative.
How to read the result
The calculator applies the exemption threshold and the rate from the dated block. Below the threshold — exempt; above it — VAT on the product price; and on high amounts customs and purchase tax may apply, which depend on the category and are therefore not included in the estimate.
What the estimate doesn't include
The estimate excludes customs and purchase tax above the upper threshold (category-dependent), shipping and insurance, and currency conversion. For a large purchase, consult a customs broker or check the Israeli Tax Authority website.
Buying in bulk to sell? If you're a business, you can sell locally through AliExpress — zero selling commission, settlement in shekels and inventory in Israel with fast delivery.
