Turkey salary calculator 2026: gross to net

The gross minimum wage has been ₺33,030 a month since 1 January 2026. The employee pays 14% social security and 1% unemployment insurance (₺4,954.50 together), and income tax and stamp tax are waived on the minimum wage, so the net minimum wage is ₺28,075.50 in every month of the year. The employer pays ₺40,874.63 without any discount.

Four steps each month. One: take 14% social security and 1% unemployment insurance from the gross salary, up to the monthly ceiling of ₺297,270. Two: the rest is your taxable pay, which is added to the running total since January. Three: income tax is charged on that total by band (15%, 20%, 27%, 35%, 40%), and the tax on an amount equal to the minimum wage is waived for everyone. Four: stamp tax of 0.759% on the gross salary, again with the minimum-wage part waived. For ₺60,000 a month this leaves ₺47,356.63 in January.

Because income tax works on your pay added up since January. When that total passes ₺190,000, ₺400,000 or ₺1,500,000, the part above the limit is taxed at the next higher rate. With ₺60,000 a month, take-home is ₺47,356.63 in January and ₺42,640.40 in December, ₺4,716.23 less, although the gross salary did not change. Some months move the other way, because the tax waived on the minimum-wage part grows in July, when the minimum wage’s own running total passes ₺190,000. A pay rise in the same year raises your net less than the gross rise for the same reason.

The employer adds 21.75% social security and 2% unemployment insurance to the gross salary, so a ₺60,000 salary costs ₺891,000 over the year. Many employers get a discount of 2 or 5 percentage points on the social-security share under Law 5510, article 81. For the minimum wage the monthly cost is ₺40,874.63 without a discount, ₺40,214.03 with the 2-point discount and ₺39,223.13 with the 5-point discount. Pick the discount in the calculator under “Different pay each month · employer discount”.

No. Law 7349 removed the minimum living allowance from 2022 (the change took effect on 22 December 2021), so your payslip no longer shows it and this calculator does not add it. The exemption that replaced it applies to the minimum wage only: income tax and stamp tax on the part of your pay that equals the minimum wage are waived.

Severance is 30 days of pay for every year with the same employer, with months and days counted in proportion. You need at least one full year, and the job must end in a qualifying way: the employer ends it, you leave for a just cause, to retire, for military service, a woman leaves within a year of marriage, or the worker dies. The monthly pay used is capped: ₺64,948.77 until 30 June 2026 and ₺73,729.87 from 1 July 2026. Only stamp tax (0.759%) is deducted, with no income tax and no social security.

By law the notice period grows with service: 2 weeks under 6 months, 4 weeks from 6 to 18 months, 6 weeks from 18 months to 3 years and 8 weeks beyond 3 years. If the employer ends the contract without giving that notice, it owes the pay for those weeks as notice pay. It is treated as wages, so income tax and stamp tax are taken but no social security. This calculator assumes the same gross salary in every month of the year for the income tax part.

The monthly benefit is 40% of your average gross pay, but at most ₺26,424 (80% of the minimum wage), minus stamp tax. It is paid for 180 days if you had 600 insured days in the last three years, 240 days for 900 days and 300 days for 1,080 days. You must have worked in the last 120 days, lost the job through no wish or fault of your own, and apply to İŞKUR within 30 days. Late days are taken off the payment period.

It covers private-sector employees insured under SGK 4/a with a monthly salary. Not included: civil servants and self-employed people, disability tax deductions, meal and transport allowances, overtime and bonuses that change from month to month, private pension deductions, unpaid leave, a change of employer during the year, and pay above 10 million lira a month. Open “Different pay each month” in the calculator to model a raise or a bonus.

It uses the 2026 rates, ceilings and tariffs from the official sources listed below, last checked on 20 September 2026, and it was tested against the Ministry of Labour tables and the Revenue Administration’s worked examples to within one kuruş. It is still an estimate: your employer’s payroll may round in a different order or apply rules specific to your contract, and your payslip is what counts. Nothing here is tax, legal or financial advice.
