Cost of Aliyah
A question we often receive is ”how much money do I need in order to make Aliyah?” As important a question as it is, it is also an extremely subjective one and the answer varies from individual to individual and family to family, based on multiple variables. For example, how many people, where do you want to live, rent or purchase, buy a car or not, standard of living, working or not etc. etc..
In order to get a better idea of approximate numbers we recommend that the first place to check is our Aliyah Budget Calculator.

Of course reaching out to friends and acquaintances can also help you create a better overall picture of costs of living and salaries in various fields.
