Step by step

  1. Gross salary needed

    gross = the smallest amount with net(gross) ≥ the target net

    net(49,709.72) = 40,000.00 ≥ 40,000.00 = 49,709.72 TRY

  2. Employee social security

    employee SGK = min(gross; ceiling) × 14%

    employee SGK = min(49,709.72; 297,270.00) × 14% = 6,959.36 TRY

  3. Employee unemployment insurance

    unemployment insurance = min(gross; ceiling) × 1%

    unemployment insurance = min(49,709.72; 297,270.00) × 1% = 497.10 TRY

  4. Income tax base

    tax base = gross − employee SGK − unemployment insurance

    tax base = 49,709.72 − 6,959.36 − 497.10 = 42,253.26 TRY

  5. Cumulative tax base

    cumulative base = earlier months + tax base

    cumulative base = 0.00 + 42,253.26 = 42,253.26 TRY

  6. Income tax before the exemption

    income tax before the exemption = tax(cumulative base) − tax(earlier months)

    income tax before the exemption = tax(42,253.26) − tax(0.00) = 6,337.99 TRY

  7. Minimum wage exemption

    minimum wage exemption = tax(minimum wage)

    minimum wage exemption = tax(33,030.00) = 4,211.33 TRY

  8. Income tax due

    income tax = income tax before the exemption − minimum wage exemption

    income tax = 6,337.99 − 4,211.33 = 2,126.66 TRY

  9. Stamp duty

    stamp duty = (gross − minimum wage) × 7.59 per mille

    stamp duty = (49,709.72 − 33,030.00) × 7.59 per mille = 126.60 TRY

  10. Net pay at that gross

    net = gross − employee SGK − unemployment insurance − income tax − stamp duty

    net = 49,709.72 − 6,959.36 − 497.10 − 2,126.66 − 126.60 = 40,000.00 TRY

  11. Employer cost

    employer cost = gross + employer SGK (19.75%) + employer unemployment (2%)

    employer cost = 49,709.72 + 9,817.67 + 994.19 = 60,521.58 TRY

How to use

  1. Enter the Target net pay in TRY and choose Monthly, Daily or Hourly as the Pay basis. A daily net is turned into a monthly target × 30, an hourly net × 225 (30 days × 7.5 hours). The monthly target cannot be below the net minimum wage of that month.
  2. Choose the payroll Year. The calculator uses that year’s minimum wage, social security ceiling, premium rates and tax brackets.
  3. Choose the Month whose net pay must reach the target. The same gross is taken as paid every month from January.
  4. 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.
  5. For a working retiree, choose Retiree (SGDP) as the Employee type; for a disabled employee, the Disability degree of the medical report. A retiree pays 7.5% SGDP instead of the social security premiums, and the disability allowance comes off the tax base, so the same net needs a lower gross.
  6. Press Calculate. For a daily or hourly wage the result also gives the daily or hourly gross needed and the daily or hourly net.

Formula

The calculator finds the smallest gross with net(gross) ≥ target net. net(gross) is the gross to net payroll of the chosen month:

  • net(gross) = gross − employee social security − employee unemployment insurance − income tax due − stamp duty

Gross is the monthly gross salary the calculator searches for. Target net is the net pay you enter. Employee social security is 14% and employee unemployment insurance 1%, both taken up to the earnings ceiling, which is 297,270 TRY a month in 2026. Income tax due is the wage tariff applied to the cumulative tax base since January, less the minimum wage exemption. Stamp duty is 7.59 per mille of the part of the gross above the minimum wage.

For a daily or hourly wage the target is first turned into a monthly net: monthly net = daily net × 30 or monthly net = hourly net × 225. The calculator then searches kuruş by kuruş for the smallest hourly gross with net(hourly gross × 225) ≥ monthly net (× 30 for a daily one); the monthly gross is 225 or 30 times that amount. The hourly or daily net in the result is at most 0.01 TRY above the target. One kuruş of the hourly gross is 2.25 TRY a month, and one kuruş of the daily gross 0.30 TRY, so the monthly net can be up to that amount above.

The deductions depend on the brackets, the ceiling and the exemption, so there is no single reverse formula. The calculator applies each year’s own rule from 2005 on: the minimum wage exemption since 2022, the minimum living allowance (AGİ) in 2008–2021, no relief in 2005–2007; before 2022 stamp duty is taken on the whole wage. Amounts before 1 January 2005 are in the old Turkish lira (1 YTL = 1,000,000 TL). Net pay rises with the gross, so the calculator halves the search range at every step until it finds the smallest gross to the kuruş. The employer cost adds the employer social security share and the 2% employer unemployment premium to that gross.

Worked example

The worked example on this page finds the gross for a net pay of 40,000 TRY in January 2026, with the general premium discount. The first step shows the gross found and its net pay. The next steps break down the premiums, the tax base, the income tax, the stamp duty and the employer cost.

Limits

The calculator is for a full-time 4/a employee or working retiree (SGDP) with one employer. Private pension (BES), private insurance, advances and extra payments are not included; for a different gross by month or missing days, use the gross to net salary calculator. The same gross is taken as paid every month from January, so in later months a higher bracket can bring the net pay below the target. The net pay in the result can be up to 0.01 TRY above the target, in the chosen pay basis. Every line is rounded to the kuruş. The calculator has the official figures of every year since 2005.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a net salary to gross in Türkiye?

Net pay is the gross less social security, the unemployment premium, income tax and stamp duty. These depend on brackets and the ceiling, so there is no single reverse formula; the calculator searches for the smallest gross whose net pay reaches the target.

Why does the gross for the same net pay change by month?

The income tax base builds up during the year and can reach a higher bracket in later months. So the same net pay in December can need a higher gross than in January.

Can I enter a net pay below the minimum wage?

No. The calculator is for a full-time employee, so the target cannot be below the net minimum wage of the month. In 2026 the net minimum wage is 28,075.50 TRY.

Why can the net pay be 0.01 TRY above the target?

The gross is searched kuruş by kuruş and the smallest gross that reaches the target is chosen. Because of rounding, its net pay can be up to 0.01 TRY above the target. For a daily or hourly wage this limit is for the daily or hourly net.

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.
  • The gross is searched kuruş by kuruş: the result is the smallest gross whose net pay in the month reaches the target, so the net can be up to 0.01 above it. For a daily or hourly wage the daily or hourly gross is searched kuruş by kuruş: the daily or hourly net is also at most 0.01 above the target. One kuruş an hour is 2.25 TRY a month (0.30 TRY for a day), so the monthly net can be up to that amount above.
