When does a work injury bring a pension, and when a one-off grant?
From 20% permanent disability National Insurance pays a monthly pension. Between 9% and 19.99% it pays a one-off grant of 43 monthly pensions, and below 9% there is no entitlement. The full pension is 75% of pre-injury pay, up to ₪39,428 a month (from 1.1.2026). On a ₪12,000 salary, 19% means a grant of ₪73,530; 20% means ₪1,800 every month.
The calculation in the law
| Component | Calculation | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Daily wage | Income in the quarter before the injury ÷ 90 | s. 98 |
| Daily injury allowance | 75% of the daily wage, up to a ceiling | s. 97 |
| Full pension (100%) | Injury allowance × 30, up to ₪39,428 a month (from 1.1.2026) | s. 105; National Insurance |
| Partial pension | Disability % × full pension | s. 106 |
| 20% and above | Monthly pension | National Insurance |
| 9% to 19.99% | One-off grant = 43 × the monthly pension at that degree | National Insurance |
| Rounding | A degree of 20% or more with a fraction is rounded up; 19.6% stays a grant | reg. 19A |
| Below 9% | No entitlement | National Insurance |
Worked examples
- ₪12,000 salary, 19%: full pension ₪9,000, 19% of it is ₪1,710, so a one-off grant of ₪73,530.
- Same salary, 20%: a pension of ₪1,800 every month.
- ₪8,000 salary, 10%: a grant of ₪25,800.
What the calculator does not include
- Injured people under 21 receive a grant calculated as if they earned the national average wage, ₪13,769 (from 1.1.2026).
- Temporary disability of 9% or more brings a pension for the period set. If the condition worsens to 20% or more, a grant already paid is deducted from the pension.
- The calculator assumes a steady wage in the quarter. Actual income, additions and the committee's decision determine the amount.
- The gap between 19% and 20% is a good reason to review the committee's minutes before deciding on an appeal.
