Türkiye Social Security Premium Rates by Year

This page shows every period of Türkiye’s social security premium rates for employees insured under 4/a since 2005: the total employee and employer shares, the employer’s long-term, short-term and health insurance rates and the point discount the Treasury covers. The rates in force are at the top and every period is in the table.

How to read the table

• Employee share (total): the sum of the employee premiums for disability, old age and death insurance, general health insurance and unemployment insurance, the rate payroll deducts from the gross wage.
• Employer share (total, before discount): the sum of the employer premiums for long-term insurance, short-term insurance (work accidents and occupational diseases, lowest risk class), general health insurance and unemployment insurance, before the Treasury discount.
• Treasury discount (points): the points deducted from the employer share and paid by the Treasury under article 81 of Law no. 5510; for employers that qualify it lowers the employer cost by that much. In periods with a separate rate for manufacturing, the table shows it too.

Periods

The rates take effect with amendments to the law; each row cites the article and the Official Gazette issue that changed it. A premium is the rate applied to the earnings subject to premium, whose floor and ceiling are on the social security earnings floor and ceiling page.
