Türkiye Notice Pay Calculator: Notice Period and Net Pay

How to use

1. Enter your first day as the Start date and your last working day, the exit date reported to SGK, as the End date. Both days count; the notice period follows from this service.
2. Enter the Last monthly gross wage in TRY.
3. Enter the Regular monthly benefits: the monthly total of meals, transport, a twelfth of the yearly bonus and other regular payments. Leave 0 if there are none.
4. Under More options, enter the Cumulative tax base of the year from your last payslip. If you do not know it, leave it empty; the calculator builds it from the gross wage.
5. Press Calculate.

Formula

• Notice days = weeks × 7
• Gross notice pay = (gross wage + benefits) / 30 × notice days
• Income tax = tax(cumulative base + gross notice pay) − tax(cumulative base) − exemption left
• Stamp duty = gross notice pay × 7.59 per mille − stamp exemption left
• Net notice pay = gross notice pay − income tax − stamp duty

The weeks follow from the service under art. 17 of the Labour Law: under 6 months 2, from 6 months to 1.5 years 4, from 1.5 to 3 years 6, more than 3 years 8. Exactly 6 months counts as 4 weeks, exactly 1.5 years as 6 and exactly 3 years as 6. The start day and the end day both count: 01.01.2025–30.06.2025 is exactly 6 months. A month counts as 30 days. Amounts are rounded to the kuruş.

tax(...) is the wage tariff of the end date’s year (Income Tax Law art. 103). The cumulative base is the year’s wages from January to the end date less the employee social security and unemployment premiums, including the last month’s wage. Without a base, the calculator takes the same gross wage every month from January (or your start month this year) to the end date, with the first and last month by the days worked.

In the exit month the minimum wage exemption applies in full, whatever the days worked (Income Tax General Communiqué no. 319 art. 6/2). The month’s wage uses part of it; the rest comes off the notice pay’s income tax and stamp duty (Revenue Administration ruling of 13 December 2023). From 2008 to 2021 the minimum living allowance (AGİ) took the exemption’s place; it applies in full in the exit month (Income Tax Law art. 32), and the part the wage does not use comes off the notice pay’s tax in the same way. The calculator takes the AGİ of a single employee. No Revenue Administration ruling states this directly. From 2005 to 2007 there was no relief.

Worked example

The worked example on this page shows an employment from 1 March 2024 to a last working day of 1 September 2026, 2 years 6 months and 1 day. The last gross wage is 50,000 TRY; the notice period is 6 weeks and the gross pay 70,000 TRY. With no base given, the calculator builds 341,416.67 TRY from the wages of January to August and one day of September. The pay fills the 20% bracket and 11,416.67 TRY crosses into 27%: 14,799.17 TRY tax before the exemption. The one-day wage uses 283.33 TRY of September’s 5,615.10 TRY exemption; the 5,331.77 TRY left brings the income tax to 9,467.40 TRY. Stamp duty is 531.30 − 238.05 = 293.25 TRY and the net 60,239.35 TRY.

Limits

The calculator does not check entitlement. The pay is taken as paid in the exit month; paid in a later month, that month’s exemption needs its own calculation. For the total with severance pay, use the severance and notice pay calculator. Unused leave pay and late payment interest are not calculated. The calculator has data for end dates from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2026. Amounts before 1 January 2005 are in the old Turkish lira (1 YTL = 1,000,000 TL); the calculator does not go back further.
