The big cities - Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and others - use the "net net" method, calculating only the floor area of the apartment without external and internal walls. Others use the "net gross" which does include the area occupied by external and internal walls. However, some cities use the "gross gross" method, that will include your proportional share of common space such as the stairwell, elevator shaft, lobby and halls, covered parking spaces, electricity boxes, plastic storage containers from do-it-yourself chains, and more. In most cases, balconies and patios are not included in the calculation, sheltered room (mamad) is included, and storage rooms are usually calculated but at a lower rate.

Outer walls? Just 1 floor, stairwells, balconies, patios, how about bomb shelter? (think that should get in there for free. But how is the sq meter actually calculated? Outer walls?
