SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNTING_POLICIE

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
		a.	General:
		1)	Nature of operations
	MIND C.T.I. Ltd. (the “Company”) is an Israeli company, which together with its subsidiaries operate in one segment, providing integrated products and services. The Company designs, develops, markets, supports, implements and operates billing and customer care systems, including consulting and managed services, primarily to wireless, wireline, next-generation service providers throughout the world. The Company also provides a call management system used by enterprises for call accounting, traffic analysis, and fraud detection.
	The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States ("Mind Software Inc." or "Sentori"), Romania ("Mind Software SRL"), and U.K ("Mind Software Limited" or "Omni").
		2)	Accounting principles
	The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP").
		3)	Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates with regard to the Company's consolidated financial statements relate to revenue recognition of products and service sales using the percentage of completion method, the valuation of auction rate securities, and the impairment of goodwill and other intangible asset.
		4)	Functional currency
	The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, except the subsidiary in the U.K. as described below, are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“dollar” or “$”). Most of the Company’s revenues are derived from sales outside of Israel, which are denominated primarily in dollars. In addition, the majority of the Company’s cash reserves and financing activities are denominated in dollars. Thus, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the dollar.
	Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in non-dollar currencies are re-measured into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For non-dollar transactions and other items (detailed below) reflected in the statements of operations, the following exchange rates are used: (i) for transactions: exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates; and (ii) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items, such as depreciation and amortization, etc.) - historical exchange rates. The resulting currency translation gains or losses are carried to financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
	The functional currency of the subsidiary in the U.K. is the British Pound. The financial statements of this subsidiary are included in consolidation, based on translation into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (formerly SFAS No. 52): assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while operating results items are translated at periodically average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation are presented in shareholders’ equity.
		b.	Principles of consolidation:
		1)	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.
		2)	Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Profits from inter-company sales, not yet realized outside the Company and its subsidiaries, have also been eliminated.
		c.	Reclassifications:
	Certain amounts in prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
		d.	Cash equivalents:
	The Company and its subsidiaries consider all highly liquid investments, which include
	short-term bank deposits (up to three months from original date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, to be cash equivalents.
		e.	Short-term bank deposits:
	Bank deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year are included in short-term bank deposits. Such short-term bank deposits are stated at cost.
		f.	Marketable securities
	Marketable securities are classified as "financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss" when held for trading or are designated upon initial recognition as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
	Financial asset at fair value through profit or loss is shown at fair value. Any gain or loss arising from changes in fair value, including those originating from changes in exchange rates is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the change occurred. Net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.
		g.	Available-for-sale financial assets (AFS financial assets):
	AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as AFS or are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held-to-maturity investments or (c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
	The AFS held by the Company are traded in an active market and are stated at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized losses considered to be temporary are reflected in other comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary are charged to income as an impairment charge. See also Note 2.
		h.	Inventories:
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the “first-in, first-out” method. Most of the inventories consist of acquired hardware.
		i.	Property and equipment:
		1)	These assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
		2)	The assets are depreciated by the straight-line method, on basis of their estimated useful life.
	Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
			%
	Computers and electronic equipment		15-33
			(mainly 33)
	Office furniture and equipment		7-Jun
	Vehicles		15
	Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the lease, which is shorter than the estimated useful life of the improvements.
		j.	Goodwill:
	Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of subsidiaries acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Under ASC 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142), goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. The Company performs annual testing for impairment of the goodwill during the third quarter of each year, see also Note 4.
		k.	Income taxes:
		1)	Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on the changes in the deferred tax asset or tax liability from period to period. Valuation allowance is included in respect of deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be realized.
		2)	The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of ASC 740-10 on January 1, 2007.
		l.	Revenue recognition:
	The Company’s revenues consist of revenues generated from software licensing, sales of professional services, including integration and implementation, sales of third-party hardware and software, maintenance services, managed services and training.
	The Company applies the provisions of Statement of ASC 985-605, "Revenue Recognition" (formerly SOP No. 97-2) and ASC 605-35, "Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts" (formerly SOP No. 81-1), as follows:
		i)	Licenses
	Revenue from sale of products is recognized when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. If collection is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. The Company generally does not grant a right of return on products sold to customers.
		ii)	Services
	The services the Company provides consist of implementation, training, hardware installation, maintenance, support and project management. All services are priced on a fixed price basis and are recognized ratably over the period in which the services are provided except services which are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method as described below.
	Products are mainly supplied with maintenance for a period of one year from delivery. When revenue on sale of the products is recognized, the Company defers a portion of the sales price and recognizes it as maintenance revenue ratably over the above period. The portion of the sales price that is deferred is determined based on the fair value of the service as priced in transactions in which the Company renders maintenance solely. Where vendor specific objective evidence for fair value cannot be determined, the entire sale is being recognized over the maintenance period. Where the services are considered essential to the functionality of the software products, both the software product revenue and the revenue related to the integration and implementation services are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC 605-35. The Company generally determines the percentage-of-completion by comparing the labor performed to date to the estimated total labor required to complete the project. When the estimate indicates that a loss will be incurred, such loss is recorded in the period identified. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in determining the percent complete of each contract. Different assumptions could yield materially different results.
		(iii)	Managed Services
	Revenues from managed services include a monthly fee for services and for right of use and are recorded as service revenues and license revenues, respectively. The monthly fee is based mainly on number of subscribers or customer’s business volume and the agreements include a minimum monthly charge. These revenues are recognized on a monthly basis. Where installation services are sold together with a managed services contract, the installation services are being recognized over the entire contract term, commencing the deployment finalization.
	Deferred costs of revenues are presented net of related advances from customers.
		m.	Research and development expenses:
	Pursuant to ASC 985-20, "Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed" (formerly SFAS No. 86), development costs related to software products are expensed as incurred until the “technological feasibility” of the product has been established. Because of the relatively short time period between "technological feasibility" and product release, and the insignificant amount of costs incurred during such period, no software development costs have been capitalized.
		n.	Allowance for doubtful accounts:
	The allowance is determined for specific debts doubtful of collection.
		o.	Stock based compensation:
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" (formerly SFAS No. 123 (R)), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated income statements.
The Company recognizes compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the entire award, net of estimated forfeitures.
	p.	Earnings (loss) per share ("EPS"):
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, net of treasury shares.
Diluted EPS reflects the increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding that would result from the assumed exercise of employee stock options, calculated using the treasury-stock-method.
	q.	Treasury shares:
Treasury shares are presented as a reduction in shareholders' equity, at their cost to the Company, under "Treasury shares".
	r.	Concentration of credit risks:
Most of the Company’s and its subsidiaries' cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were deposited with Israeli, European and U.S. banks. The Company is not aware of any specific credit risks in respect of these banks.
The Company's revenues have been generated from a large number of customers. Consequently, the exposure to credit risks relating to trade receivables is limited. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers for the purpose of determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts.
	s.	Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, which requires entities to disclose the following additional information about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI):
	•	Changes in AOCI balances by component (e.g., unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities or foreign-currency items). Both before-tax and net-of-tax presentations of the information are acceptable as long as an entity presents the income tax benefit or expense attributed to each component of OCI and reclassification adjustments in either the financial statements or the notes to the financial statements.
	•	Significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either on the face of the income statement or as a separate footnote to the financial statements.
The ASU does not change the current U.S. GAAP requirements, for either public or nonpublic entities, for interim financial statement reporting of comprehensive income. That is, a total for comprehensive income must be reported in condensed interim financial statements in either (1) a single continuous statement or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. However, public entities would also need to include information about (1) changes in AOCI balances by component and (2) significant items reclassified out of AOCI in their interim reporting periods. ASU 2013-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 amending requirements for the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU No. 2013-11 requires entities to present in the financial statements an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except to the extent such items are not available or not intended to be used at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. In such instances, the unrecognized tax benefit is required to be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 had no impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block]	'
		NOTE 4   -	GOODWILL
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. The carrying value of goodwill was allocated to MIND’s reporting units pursuant to ASC 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142).
	ASC 350 requires that companies not amortize goodwill, but instead test for impairment at least annually using a two-step approach. The Company evaluates goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
	Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determined fair value based on estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.
	Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates and operating margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The second step involves determining the implied value of goodwill for the reporting unit. Any excess carrying amount of goodwill over the fair value determined in the second step will be recorded as a goodwill impairment loss.
	The Company performed the annual impairment tests during the third quarter of 2013, 2012 and 2011 and did not identify any impairment losses.

		NOTE 5   -	EMPLOYEES' RIGHTS UPON RETIREMENT
		a.	Israeli law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. The severance pay liability of the Company to its Israeli employees, based upon the number of years of service and the latest monthly salary, is partly covered by regular deposits with severance pay funds and pension funds, and by purchase of insurance policies; under labor agreements, the deposits with recognized pension funds and the insurance policies, as above, are in the employees' names and are, subject to certain limitations, the property of the employees.
	The amounts accrued and the portions funded, with severance pay funds and by the insurance policies are reflected in the financial statements as follows:
			December 31
			2013		2012
			U.S. dollars in thousands
	Accrued severance pay		$	1,804	$	1,615
	Less - amounts funded (presented in “Investment and other non-current assets”)			-1,673		-1,399
	Unfunded balance		$	131	$	216
	The amounts of accrued severance pay as above cover the Company’s severance pay liability in accordance with labor agreements in force and based on salary components which, in management’s opinion, create entitlement to severance pay. The Company records the obligation as if it was payable at each balance sheet date on an undiscounted basis.
	Withdrawals from the funds are generally made for the purpose of paying severance pay.
		b.	The severance pay expenses were $139 thousand, $142 thousand and $290 thousand in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

		a.	Share capital:
	The Company’s ordinary shares are traded in the United States on the NASDAQ National Market, under the symbol MNDO.
		b.	Treasury shares:
	In September 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a plan for the repurchase of up to 2,100,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares in the open market, in an amount in cash of up to $2.8 million. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had repurchased 2,100,000 ordinary shares under the program at a total purchase price of approximately $1.6 million, after getting an approval by an Israeli court in accordance to the Israeli Companies Law. In February 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized additional repurchase transactions of the Company’s shares in the total amount of $1.2 million pursuant to the 2008 repurchase plan. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has purchased an aggregate amount of 3,165,092 ordinary shares at a total purchase price of $2.8 million. In November, 2009 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new plan for the repurchase of the Company’s ordinary shares in the open market, in an amount in cash of up to $1.8 million and in February 2010 this repurchase was approved by an Israeli court in accordance to the Israel Companies Law. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized on August 1st, 2012 to reactivate the plan for the repurchase of the Company's ordinary shares in the open market, in an amount in cash of up to $1.8 million. There are no additional buyback plans. As of December 31, 2013, no repurchases have been made under this new plan. As of December 31, 2013 the treasury shares amounted to $2.29 million after exercise of options from treasury stock issued to employees in the amount of $73 thousand, $41 thousand and $399 thousand in 2013, 2012 and 2011 respectively.
		c.	Dividend:
	Dividends paid per share in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $0.24, $0.24 and $0.32, respectively.
	The Company paid dividends to its shareholders in the amounts of $4.5 million, $4.5 million and $6.0 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Since at the time of 2011 distribution the Company had insufficient statutory retained earnings, the distribution was done by way of reduction of additional paid-in capital, after due approval by an Israeli court order, in accordance to the Israeli Companies Law.
		d.	Stock option plans:
	In December 1998, the Board of Directors approved an employee stock option plan, which was amended in 2000 and in 2003 (the “1998 Plan”). During 2004, the Board of Directors approved an employee stock option plan (the “2000 Plan”). Under the 1998 Plan (as amended in 2000 and in 2003) and the 2000 plan, options for up to 4,306,000 ordinary shares of NIS  0.01 par value are to be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 1998 Plan and 2000 Plan expired in December 2010.
	In 2011, the Board of Directors and the 2011 Annual General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders approved a share incentive plan (the “2011 Share Incentive Plan”). Under the 2011 Share Incentive Plan, options for up to 1,800,000 ordinary shares of NIS  0.01 par value are to be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, directors, consultants or contractors of the Company.
	Each option can be exercised to purchase one Ordinary Share. Immediately upon issuance, the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the options will confer on holders the same rights as the other ordinary shares.
	The Board of Directors determines the exercise price and the vesting period of the options granted. The outstanding options granted under the above mentioned plans vest over 3-5 years. Options not exercised will expire approximately 5-7 years after they are granted.
	The compensation costs charged against income for all of the Company's equity remuneration plans during 2013, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $58 thousand, $80 thousand and $61 thousand, respectively without any reduction in income taxes.
	In January 2011, we issued to a new customer a warrant to purchase 924,545 ordinary shares of MIND at an exercise price of $2.48 per share (equal to the average closing price per share of MIND's ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market during the 30 trading day period immediately preceding the date of the issuance thereof).  The compensation cost of $332 thousand was deducted from 2011 revenues. The right to purchase warrant shares upon exercise hereof terminated in July 2012 after a period of 18 months following the date of issuance thereof.
	As a result of a change made to Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance as part of the Israeli tax reform of 2003, and pursuant to an election made by the Company thereunder, Israeli employees (except for employees who are deemed “Controlling Members” under the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance) will be subject to a lower tax rate on capital gains accruing to them in respect of Section 102 awards made after December 31, 2002. However, the Company will not be allowed to claim as an expense for tax purposes the amounts credited to such employees as a benefit when the related capital gains tax is payable by them, as it had previously been entitled to do under Section 102.
	The following is a summary of the status of the 1998 Plan, 2000 plan and 2011 Share Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and changes during the years ended on those dates:

TAXES ON INCOME	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 8   -	TAXES ON INCOME
		a.	Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969:
	The Company is an “industrial company”, as defined by this law. As such, the Company is entitled to claim depreciation at increased rates for equipment used in industrial activity, as stipulated by regulations published under the inflationary adjustments law.
		b.	Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959:
		1)	Tax benefits prior to the 2011 Amendment
	Substantially all of the Company’s production facilities have been granted “approved enterprise” status under the above law (including Amendment No. 60 to the law that was published in April 2005). Income derived from the approved enterprise was tax exempt for a period of ten years commencing in the first year in which the Company earned taxable income from the approved enterprise (provided the maximum period to which it is restricted by law has not elapsed).
	According to the above law, in the event of distribution of cash dividends from income that was tax exempt as above, the Company would have to pay the 25% tax in respect of the amount distributed.
	The entitlement to the above benefits was conditional upon the Company’s fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the above law, regulations published thereunder and the certificate of approval for the specific investments in approved enterprises. In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be cancelled and the Company may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, with the addition of linkage differences to the Israeli CPI and interest.
		2)	Tax benefits under the 2011 Amendment
	On January 6, 2011 an amendment (Amendment No. 68) to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investment-1959 ("2011 Amendment") was published.The new Amendment significantly revising the tax incentive regime in Israel, commencing on January, 1 2011.
	2011 Amendment introduced a new status of “Preferred Enterprise”. Similarly to the “approved enterprise” status, a Preferred Company is an industrial company meeting certain conditions (including a minimum threshold of 25% export). However, under the New Amendment the requirement for a minimum investment in productive assets in order to be eligible for the benefits granted under the Investments Law as with respect to “approved enerprise”status was cancelled. Dividends distributed from income which is attributed to a “Preferred Enterprise” will be subject to withholding tax at source at the following rates: (i) Israeli resident corporations - 0%, (ii) Israeli resident individuals – 15% (iii) non-Israeli residents - 15%, subject to a reduced tax rate under the provisions of an applicable double tax treaty.
	On July 30, 2013 the Knesset passed a Law for the change in the order of National Priorities (Legislative amendments to achieve budget objectives for 2013 and 2014) — 2013. As part of the legislation, the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments was amended so that the tax rate applicable to a preferred enterprise in this period in Development Area A will be 9% and the tax rate in other parts of the country will be 16%. Similarly, it was determined that the tax rate on dividends distributed to individuals and foreign residents out of preferred income will be increased to 20% as from January 1, 2014 as opposed to the current rate of 15%.
	The following table summarise the reduced flat tax rate with respect to the income attributed to the Preferred Enterprise:
	Tax Year		Development				Other Areas
			Region “A”				within Israel
	2011-2012			10	%			15	%
	2013			7	%			12.5	%
	2014 onwards			9	%			16	%
	The Company is located in Development Region "A" and during 2011 had chosen the status of the 2011 Amendment.
	If only a portion of the company's capital investments is approved, its effective tax rate will be the result of a weighted combination of the applicable rates. The tax benefits from any certificate of approval relate only to taxable income attributable to the specific Preferred Enterprise. Income derived from activity that is not integral to the activity of the Preferred Enterprise will not enjoy tax benefits. Our entitlement to the above benefits is subject to fulfillment of certain conditions under the Investment Law and related regulations.
	During 2013, the Company applied for a tax ruling with respect to 2012 and future years. At the beginning of 2014, we obtained the ruling, which provides that the portion of our income attributed to the Preferred Enterprise (and thereby subject to lower tax rates) will be calculated each year based on, among other things, the ratio between the number of our employees in Israel and abroad. According to the ruling, our tax rate on income in Israel in 2013 was approximately 20%.
		c.	Other applicable tax rates:
		1)	Income from other sources in Israel
	On December 6, 2011, the “Tax Burden Distribution Law” Legislation Amendments (2011) was published in the official gazette, under which the previously approved gradual decrease in corporate tax was cancelled. The corporate tax rate increased to 25% as from 2012.
	As part of the mentioned above law for the change in the order of National Priorities (Legislative amendments to achieve budget objectives for 2013 and 2014) — 2013 the corporate tax rate has increased to 26.5% as from January 1, 2014 and thereafter.
		2)	Income of non-Israeli subsidiaries
	Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed according to tax laws in their countries of residence.
		d.	Deferred income taxes:

The Company has provided valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from carryforward tax losses of the company subsidiaries.

SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNTING_POLICIE1

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Nature of Operations [Policy Text Block]	'
		1)	Nature of operations
	MIND C.T.I. Ltd. (the “Company”) is an Israeli company, which together with its subsidiaries operate in one segment, providing integrated products and services. The Company designs, develops, markets, supports, implements and operates billing and customer care systems, including consulting and managed services, primarily to wireless, wireline, next-generation service providers throughout the world. The Company also provides a call management system used by enterprises for call accounting, traffic analysis, and fraud detection.
	The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States ("Mind Software Inc." or "Sentori"), Romania ("Mind Software SRL"), and U.K ("Mind Software Limited" or "Omni").
Accounting Principles, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		2)	Accounting principles
	The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP").
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		3)	Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates with regard to the Company's consolidated financial statements relate to revenue recognition of products and service sales using the percentage of completion method, the valuation of auction rate securities, and the impairment of goodwill and other intangible asset.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		4)	Functional currency
	The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, except the subsidiary in the U.K. as described below, are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“dollar” or “$”). Most of the Company’s revenues are derived from sales outside of Israel, which are denominated primarily in dollars. In addition, the majority of the Company’s cash reserves and financing activities are denominated in dollars. Thus, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the dollar.
	Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in non-dollar currencies are re-measured into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For non-dollar transactions and other items (detailed below) reflected in the statements of operations, the following exchange rates are used: (i) for transactions: exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates; and (ii) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items, such as depreciation and amortization, etc.) - historical exchange rates. The resulting currency translation gains or losses are carried to financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
	The functional currency of the subsidiary in the U.K. is the British Pound. The financial statements of this subsidiary are included in consolidation, based on translation into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (formerly SFAS No. 52): assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while operating results items are translated at periodically average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation are presented in shareholders’ equity.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		b.	Principles of consolidation:
		1)	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.
		2)	Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Profits from inter-company sales, not yet realized outside the Company and its subsidiaries, have also been eliminated.
Reclassifications, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		c.	Reclassifications:
	Certain amounts in prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		d.	Cash equivalents:
	The Company and its subsidiaries consider all highly liquid investments, which include
	short-term bank deposits (up to three months from original date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, to be cash equivalents.
Short Term Bank Deposits [Policy Text Block]	'
		e.	Short-term bank deposits:
	Bank deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year are included in short-term bank deposits. Such short-term bank deposits are stated at cost.
Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		f.	Marketable securities
	Marketable securities are classified as "financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss" when held for trading or are designated upon initial recognition as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
	Financial asset at fair value through profit or loss is shown at fair value. Any gain or loss arising from changes in fair value, including those originating from changes in exchange rates is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the change occurred. Net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.
Marketable Securities, Available-for-sale Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		g.	Available-for-sale financial assets (AFS financial assets):
	AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as AFS or are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held-to-maturity investments or (c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
	The AFS held by the Company are traded in an active market and are stated at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized losses considered to be temporary are reflected in other comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary are charged to income as an impairment charge. See also Note 2.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		h.	Inventories:
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the “first-in, first-out” method. Most of the inventories consist of acquired hardware.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		i.	Property and equipment:
		1)	These assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
		2)	The assets are depreciated by the straight-line method, on basis of their estimated useful life.
	Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
			%
	Computers and electronic equipment		15-33
			(mainly 33)
	Office furniture and equipment		7-Jun
	Vehicles		15
	Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the lease, which is shorter than the estimated useful life of the improvements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		j.	Goodwill:
	Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of subsidiaries acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Under ASC 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142), goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. The Company performs annual testing for impairment of the goodwill during the third quarter of each year, see also Note 4.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		k.	Income taxes:
		1)	Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on the changes in the deferred tax asset or tax liability from period to period. Valuation allowance is included in respect of deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be realized.
		2)	The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of ASC 740-10 on January 1, 2007.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		l.	Revenue recognition:
	The Company’s revenues consist of revenues generated from software licensing, sales of professional services, including integration and implementation, sales of third-party hardware and software, maintenance services, managed services and training.
	The Company applies the provisions of Statement of ASC 985-605, "Revenue Recognition" (formerly SOP No. 97-2) and ASC 605-35, "Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts" (formerly SOP No. 81-1), as follows:
		i)	Licenses
	Revenue from sale of products is recognized when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. If collection is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. The Company generally does not grant a right of return on products sold to customers.
		ii)	Services
	The services the Company provides consist of implementation, training, hardware installation, maintenance, support and project management. All services are priced on a fixed price basis and are recognized ratably over the period in which the services are provided except services which are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method as described below.
	Products are mainly supplied with maintenance for a period of one year from delivery. When revenue on sale of the products is recognized, the Company defers a portion of the sales price and recognizes it as maintenance revenue ratably over the above period. The portion of the sales price that is deferred is determined based on the fair value of the service as priced in transactions in which the Company renders maintenance solely. Where vendor specific objective evidence for fair value cannot be determined, the entire sale is being recognized over the maintenance period. Where the services are considered essential to the functionality of the software products, both the software product revenue and the revenue related to the integration and implementation services are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC 605-35. The Company generally determines the percentage-of-completion by comparing the labor performed to date to the estimated total labor required to complete the project. When the estimate indicates that a loss will be incurred, such loss is recorded in the period identified. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in determining the percent complete of each contract. Different assumptions could yield materially different results.
		(iii)	Managed Services
	Revenues from managed services include a monthly fee for services and for right of use and are recorded as service revenues and license revenues, respectively. The monthly fee is based mainly on number of subscribers or customer’s business volume and the agreements include a minimum monthly charge. These revenues are recognized on a monthly basis. Where installation services are sold together with a managed services contract, the installation services are being recognized over the entire contract term, commencing the deployment finalization.
	Deferred costs of revenues are presented net of related advances from customers.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		m.	Research and development expenses:
	Pursuant to ASC 985-20, "Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed" (formerly SFAS No. 86), development costs related to software products are expensed as incurred until the “technological feasibility” of the product has been established. Because of the relatively short time period between "technological feasibility" and product release, and the insignificant amount of costs incurred during such period, no software development costs have been capitalized.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		n.	Allowance for doubtful accounts:
	The allowance is determined for specific debts doubtful of collection.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		o.	Stock based compensation:
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" (formerly SFAS No. 123 (R)), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated income statements.
	The Company recognizes compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the entire award, net of estimated forfeitures.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		p.	Earnings (loss) per share ("EPS"):
	Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, net of treasury shares.
	Diluted EPS reflects the increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding that would result from the assumed exercise of employee stock options, calculated using the treasury-stock-method.
Treasury Shares, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		q.	Treasury shares:
	Treasury shares are presented as a reduction in shareholders' equity, at their cost to the Company, under "Treasury shares".
Concentration Of Credit Risk. [Policy Text Block]	'
		r.	Concentration of credit risks:
	Most of the Company’s and its subsidiaries' cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were deposited with Israeli, European and U.S. banks. The Company is not aware of any specific credit risks in respect of these banks.
	The Company's revenues have been generated from a large number of customers. Consequently, the exposure to credit risks relating to trade receivables is limited. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers for the purpose of determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
		s.	Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
	On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, which requires entities to disclose the following additional information about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI):
		•	Changes in AOCI balances by component (e.g., unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities or foreign-currency items). Both before-tax and net-of-tax presentations of the information are acceptable as long as an entity presents the income tax benefit or expense attributed to each component of OCI and reclassification adjustments in either the financial statements or the notes to the financial statements.
		•	Significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either on the face of the income statement or as a separate footnote to the financial statements.
	The ASU does not change the current U.S. GAAP requirements, for either public or nonpublic entities, for interim financial statement reporting of comprehensive income. That is, a total for comprehensive income must be reported in condensed interim financial statements in either (1) a single continuous statement or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. However, public entities would also need to include information about (1) changes in AOCI balances by component and (2) significant items reclassified out of AOCI in their interim reporting periods. ASU 2013-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 amending requirements for the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU No. 2013-11 requires entities to present in the financial statements an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except to the extent such items are not available or not intended to be used at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. In such instances, the unrecognized tax benefit is required to be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 had no impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
