Does this calculator decide the status with the Tax Authority?

No. It reads the gap between two dates and sorts a status: veteran, regular, or neither. A licensed accountant names the date the Tax Authority uses. RealFix Finance does not grant the status.

What is the difference between veteran and regular in this calculator?

As of October 2026, a veteran spent at least 10 consecutive years as a foreign resident and has a 10-year exemption on foreign-source income. A regular returning resident spent 6 years and less than 10, with a 5-year exemption. Under 6 years, the calculator places the person in neither status.

Does a visit to Israel break the years?

The calculator does not count visit days and does not test 183 days. If the center of life did not stay abroad for the whole period, this form gives no status. The accountant says whether the sequence broke.

What if I was never an Israeli resident before I left?

Then you are not a returning resident. A new oleh is a different track, with its own clock. Read that clock in the 10-year holiday article, not in this calculator.

Veteran, regular, or neither.

Bring the two dates and whatever the accountant has already said about the sequence. We look at whether a mortgage file exists around the income. No approval is promised, and this is not a status ruling.
