The deposit interest calculator finds the gross interest, the withholding tax, the net interest and the final amount of a Turkish time deposit in lira, foreign currency or gold. Enter the currency, the principal, the annual gross rate, the term in days, months or years and the opening date. The calculator picks the withholding rate in force that day.

Step by step
Term
days = maturity − opening
days = 2026-12-04 − 2026-11-02 = 32
Gross interest
gross interest = principal × annual rate × days / 365
gross interest = 100,000.00 × 40% × 32 / 365 = 3,506.85 TRY
Withholding rate
withholding rate = the rate in force on the opening day, by term and currency type
withholding rate (TL, 2026-11-02 → 2026-12-04) = 17.5% = 17.50%
Withholding tax
withholding = gross interest × withholding rate
withholding = 3,506.85 × 17.5% = 613.70 TRY
Net interest
net interest = gross interest − withholding
net interest = 3,506.85 − 613.70 = 2,893.15 TRY
Final amount
final amount = principal + net interest
final amount = 100,000.00 + 2,893.15 = 102,893.15 TRY

Formula
Days = maturity − opening dateGross interest = principal × annual rate × days / 365Withholding = gross interest × withholding rateNet interest = gross interest − withholdingFinal amount = principal + net interest
The annual rate is the bank’s gross rate, written as a decimal: 0.40 for 40%. Months and years count on the calendar: a 3-month deposit opened on 22 September matures on 22 December, 91 days later.
How the withholding rate is chosen
The withholding rate is the one in force on the day the deposit is opened or renewed, not on the day the interest is paid. It depends on the currency and the term. Since 9 July 2025, TL time deposits pay 17.5% up to 6 months (6 months included), 15% up to 1 year (1 year included) and 10% over 1 year (Presidential Decision 10041). Foreign currency deposits pay 25% on every term since 28 June 2023 (Presidential Decision 7332).
The calculator keeps the rates of every period since 2005. For an older deposit, enter its opening date and the rate of that day applies; a 3-month TL deposit opened in 2022, for example, paid 5%. The term counts in months from the opening day: a deposit that matures no later than the day 6 months after opening takes the “up to 6 months” rate.
Worked example
The worked example on this page shows 100,000 TRY deposited for 32 days at a gross 40% a year. The term is shorter than 6 months, so the withholding rate is the opening day’s rate for terms up to 6 months. The steps give the days, the gross interest, the withholding rate, the withholding, the net interest and the final amount.
Limits
The calculator covers one term; it does not compound interest across renewals. For a gold account you enter the withholding rate, because banks apply different rates. Participation accounts take the same withholding rates, but their profit share is not known in advance, so the calculator does not cover them. FX-protected deposits (KKM), TL accounts converted from foreign currency or gold, and inflation-linked accounts are out of scope. Amounts are rounded to the kuruş, the cent or 0.01 gram of gold.

Calculation rules
- Gross interest = principal × annual rate × days / 365. Turkish banks count a year as 365 days for TL and foreign currency deposits. The days are calendar days from the opening date to maturity: 3 months end on the same day three months later.
- The withholding rate is the one in force on the day the deposit is opened or renewed (Income Tax Law provisional article 67 and Decision 2006/10731). Since 9 July 2025, TL time deposits pay 17.5% up to 6 months (6 months included), 15% up to 1 year (1 year included) and 10% over 1 year (Presidential Decision 10041, Official Gazette 9 July 2025, no. 32951); the decision has no end date. Foreign currency deposits pay 25% on every term since 28 June 2023 (Presidential Decision 7332).
- The calculator keeps the rates of every period since 2005 and counts the term in months from the opening day: a deposit whose maturity is not later than the day 6 months after opening takes the "up to 6 months" rate.
- On a gold account the interest and the withholding are in grams. Banks apply their own rate to gold accounts; you enter the withholding rate.
- Amounts are rounded to the kuruş (the cent, or 0.01 gram of gold), half up: first the gross interest, then the withholding tax.
- Interest is paid once at maturity; rolling the deposit over and earning interest on interest is not calculated. Participation accounts take the same withholding rates, but their profit share is not known in advance. FX-protected deposits (KKM), TL accounts converted from foreign currency or gold, and inflation-linked accounts are left out.
