Some important things about saving for retirement: It is very important to start saving for retirement at a young age. The minimum age in Israel for retirement savings is 21 for men and 20 for women. Those who start saving at age 20 will receive an allowance that can be more than 50% higher than those who start saving at age 30, and more than twice as much as those who start saving at age 40.
Salaried employees must inform the employer what type of pension insurance they are interested in - provident fund, pension fund or managers' insurance and in which body they choose to do so. The pension contribution rate for salaried employees in Israel is 18.5% of the gross employee's salary or the average wage in the economy (whichever is lower), and consists of employer contributions, including compensation and employee contributions.
As of 2017, there is also an obligation to deposit into pensions for the self-employed. Self-employed workers are entitled to tax benefits on these deposits. The self-employed can deposit amounts beyond what is prescribed by law and receive additional tax benefits, and increase their expected pension allowance.
