Step by step
Employee social security
employee SGK = min(gross; ceiling) × 14%
employee SGK = min(50,000.00; 297,270.00) × 14% = 7,000.00 TRY
Employee unemployment insurance
unemployment insurance = min(gross; ceiling) × 1%
unemployment insurance = min(50,000.00; 297,270.00) × 1% = 500.00 TRY
Income tax base
tax base = gross − employee SGK − unemployment insurance
tax base = 50,000.00 − 7,000.00 − 500.00 = 42,500.00 TRY
Cumulative tax base
cumulative base = earlier months + tax base
cumulative base = 0.00 + 42,500.00 = 42,500.00 TRY
Income tax before the exemption
income tax before the exemption = tax(cumulative base) − tax(earlier months)
income tax before the exemption = tax(42,500.00) − tax(0.00) = 6,375.00 TRY
Minimum wage exemption
minimum wage exemption = tax(minimum wage)
minimum wage exemption = tax(33,030.00) = 4,211.33 TRY
Income tax due
income tax = income tax before the exemption − minimum wage exemption
income tax = 6,375.00 − 4,211.33 = 2,163.67 TRY
Stamp duty
stamp duty = (gross − minimum wage) × 7.59 per mille
stamp duty = (50,000.00 − 33,030.00) × 7.59 per mille = 128.80 TRY
Net pay
net = gross − employee SGK − unemployment insurance − income tax − stamp duty
net = 50,000.00 − 7,000.00 − 500.00 − 2,163.67 − 128.80 = 40,207.53 TRY
Employer cost
employer cost = gross + employer SGK (19.75%) + employer unemployment (2%)
employer cost = 50,000.00 + 9,875.00 + 1,000.00 = 60,875.00 TRY
How to use
- Enter the Gross pay in TRY and choose Monthly, Daily or Hourly as the Pay basis. A daily wage is turned into a monthly gross × 30, an hourly wage × 225 (30 days × 7.5 hours). The monthly gross cannot be below the gross minimum wage of the chosen year.
- Choose the payroll Year. The calculator uses that year’s minimum wage, social security ceiling, premium rates and tax brackets.
- Choose the Month whose result you want to see.
- Under More options, choose the Employer premium discount: General (Law 5510 art. 81), Manufacturing, General and Law 6486, or None. It changes only the employer cost.
- For a working retiree, choose Retiree (SGDP) as the Employee type. For a disabled employee, choose the degree of the medical report as the Disability degree.
- For months with a raise, a bonus or missing days, fill in the Gross and days by month table. The gross pay in the table is per the chosen pay basis too; an empty cell takes the gross pay and 30 days.
- Press Calculate. The Payroll by month table shows all twelve months. For a daily or hourly wage the result also gives the daily or hourly net pay.
Formula
The calculator applies these steps to every month:
Employee social security = min(gross; ceiling) × 14%Employee unemployment insurance = min(gross; ceiling) × 1%Tax base = gross − employee social security − employee unemployment insuranceIncome tax before the exemption = tax(cumulative base) − tax(earlier months)Income tax due = income tax before the exemption − minimum wage exemptionStamp duty = (gross − minimum wage) × 7.59 per milleNet pay = gross − employee social security − employee unemployment insurance − income tax due − stamp dutyEmployer cost = gross + employer social security + employer unemployment
A daily or hourly wage is first turned into a monthly gross: monthly gross = daily gross × 30 or monthly gross = hourly gross × 225. 225 is 30 days × 7.5 hours a month; the overtime pay calculator also takes the hourly wage as the monthly wage / 225. The daily net is net / 30 and the hourly net net / 225; in a part month the divisor is the days (the days × 7.5 for the hourly net).
Gross is the month’s gross: the monthly gross × days / 30. The ceiling is the social security earnings ceiling, 297,270 TRY a month in 2026, in proportion to the days in a part month. The tax base is the month’s income tax base. The cumulative base is the sum of the tax bases from January to the month. Earlier months is the sum up to the month before.
tax(x) is the tax that the wage tariff puts on a yearly base of x. The 2026 wage tariff is 15% up to 190,000 TRY, 20% up to 400,000 TRY, 27% up to 1,500,000 TRY, 35% up to 5,300,000 TRY and 40% above.
The minimum wage exemption is the tax on the minimum wage’s own base, worked out the same cumulative way (Income Tax Law art. 23/18). The income tax due never goes below zero. Stamp duty applies only to the part of the gross above the minimum wage, which is 33,030 TRY gross a month in 2026.
Both exemptions started on 1 January 2022 (Law 7349). The calculator applies each year’s own rule from 2005 on: in 2008–2021 there was no exemption but the minimum living allowance (asgari geçim indirimi, AGİ); for a single employee without children, 50% of the yearly gross minimum wage of January at the first bracket rate, one twelfth a month, is credited against the computed tax, never refunded, and stamp duty is taken on the whole wage (Income Tax Law art. 32). In 2005–2007 there was no relief on the payslip. The steps and the result fields follow the rule of the chosen year. Amounts before 1 January 2005 are in the old Turkish lira (1 YTL = 1,000,000 TL); the calculator does not go back further.
The employer social security share in 2026 is 12% pension, 2.25% short-term and 7.5% health insurance, less the chosen discount: 2 percentage points in general, 5 in manufacturing. In 2013–2021, Law 6486 added 6 points on the floor of the premium base to the general discount in the listed provinces. The employer unemployment premium is 2%. Both are taken on min(gross; ceiling).
Retirees, disabled employees and part months
A working retiree pays the social security support premium (SGDP) instead of the social security premiums: 7.5%, and no unemployment premium. The employer pays 22.5% SGDP plus the short-term premium, with no Treasury discount (Law 5510 provisional art. 14). The minimum wage exemption of a retiree is the same amount as for any minimum wage earner, so a retiree on the minimum wage pays a small income tax.
A disabled employee’s monthly disability allowance is taken off the income tax base by degree (Income Tax Law art. 31): degree 1 is a loss of working capacity of at least 80%, degree 2 at least 60%, degree 3 at least 40%. The amounts are set every year; the calculator uses the chosen year’s.
In a month with fewer than 30 days, the gross and the social security ceiling are taken in proportion to the days. The minimum wage income tax and stamp duty exemptions are monthly, not daily: a month with a few days keeps the whole month’s exemption.
Worked example
The worked example on this page shows the January payroll of a monthly gross salary of 50,000 TRY in 2026, with the general premium discount. The steps give the premiums, the tax base, the income tax before and after the exemption, the stamp duty, the net pay and the employer cost. The Payroll by month table shows the net pay of the same gross over the year.
Limits
The calculator is for a 4/a employee with one employer. Private pension (BES), private insurance, advances, a tax base carried over from an earlier employer and the minimum living allowance of a married employee or one with children are not included. Without the table, the gross salary is taken as the same every month from January. Every line is rounded to the kuruş. The employer must meet the conditions of the Treasury premium discount. The calculator has the official figures of every year since 2005.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I turn an hourly gross wage into net pay in Türkiye?
The hourly gross wage times 225 (30 days × 7.5 hours) is the monthly gross; the monthly payroll deductions then apply. In January 2026 an hourly gross of 250 TRY is a monthly gross of 56,250 TRY, with a net pay of 44,675.71 TRY, or 198.56 TRY an hour.
Is the minimum wage taxed in Türkiye?
No. Income tax and stamp duty on the minimum wage part of a salary are exempt (Income Tax Law art. 23/18). A minimum wage earner pays only the 14% social security and 1% unemployment premiums; in 2026 the gross minimum wage of 33,030 TRY gives a net of 28,075.50 TRY.
Why does my net salary fall later in the year?
Turkish income tax is withheld on the cumulative tax base since January. When the cumulative base passes a bracket limit, part of the salary is taxed at the higher rate and the net pay falls.
How much does an employee cost the employer in Türkiye?
The employer pays the gross plus the employer social security share and a 2% unemployment premium. In 2026 the employer share is 12% pension, 2.25% short-term and 7.5% health insurance, less a Treasury discount of 2 percentage points in general or 5 in manufacturing.
What is the social security ceiling in Türkiye?
Social security and unemployment premiums are taken only up to the earnings ceiling. In 2026 the ceiling is 297,270 TRY a month; no premium is taken on the part of the gross above it.
Calculation rules
- For a 4/a employee with one employer. A working retiree pays the social security support premium (SGDP) instead of the SGK premiums, no unemployment premium, and the Treasury discount does not apply. Private pension, private insurance, advances and extra payments are not included.
- The income tax base builds up during the year, so the net pay falls when a higher bracket is reached.
- The minimum wage income tax and stamp duty exemptions apply (Income Tax Law art. 23/18; Law 488, table 2, IV-34). The disability allowance is the monthly amount of the chosen degree for the year, taken off the tax base (Income Tax Law art. 31).
- Social security and unemployment premiums are taken up to the earnings ceiling. In a month with fewer than 30 days the gross and the ceiling are taken in proportion to the days; the minimum wage exemptions keep their monthly amounts. Every line is rounded to the kuruş.
- The employer cost applies the chosen Treasury premium discount; the 6 more points of Law 6486 went to private employers in the listed provinces in 2013–2021, on the floor of the premium base. The employer must meet the conditions.
- A daily wage is turned into a monthly wage with 30 days, an hourly wage with 225 hours (30 days × 7.5 hours); the overtime calculator also takes the hourly wage as the monthly wage / 225. The daily and hourly net pay is the month’s net pay over the days of the month, rounded to the kuruş.
