Work from $2 a night per person for Tel Aviv: nights × rate (× category where applicable) is the whole formula, and the widget above runs it for your dates. Family of 4, 5 nights = $40.00 at mid tier — every guest pays, so headcount multiplies the bill. It ranks #38 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax, and the rate is flat across categories — collected by the hotel at check-out.
Tel Aviv charges $2.00 a night: the regime explained
The regime in plain terms: as in Jerusalem, no separate city tax — 17% VAT applies to non-tourist bookings; tourist-rate reservations at VAT-registered hotels exempt it. Basis: charged per person per night, meaning a family of four in Tel Aviv pays four times the nightly rate. No category multiplier applies — the $2.00 nightly figure holds from hostel to five-star, which quietly favors luxury stays.
Tourists with B/3 visas staying at VAT-registered hotels pay no VAT. One local wrinkle decides the math: the same rule as Jerusalem: tourist-rate bookings carry zero VAT — confirm the rate code before paying

Plan it as a nightly surcharge of $2.00 per person: a week runs $14.00, ten nights $20.00 — the stay-length table below prices every common trip length at once.
Where Tel Aviv ranks among 49 tracked tourist taxes
Rank check: #38 of 49 tracked city regimes by nightly tourist tax, which is near the floor of the tracked set — a token charge that exists more on principle than for revenue. Whatever the level, expect it to climb — the decade's pattern is annual review and annual increase, and Tel Aviv is not exempt from that pressure.
Paying it: the Tel Aviv folio, fine print and exemptions
Nothing about this tax is paid in advance or at a desk: it rides the room bill, the hotel forwards it, and your only job is checking that the folio's tax line matches the $2.00 nightly expectation this calculator prices before you book.
