Turkish Salary Calculator

Employee SGK contribution is 15% of gross salary: 14% social security premium (disability-old age-death 9% + general health 5%) and 1% unemployment insurance. Contributions are capped at the SGK ceiling (minimum wage × 7.5).

Since January 2022, salary income up to the minimum wage amount is exempt from income tax. This means the tax that would have been calculated on the post-SGK portion of the minimum wage is not deducted from your salary.

Turkey uses a progressive tax system. For 2026 salary income: 15% on first ₺158,000, 20% up to ₺330,000, 27% up to ₺800,000, 35% up to ₺4,300,000, and 40% above. Brackets are applied cumulatively over the year.

Stamp tax (damga vergisi) is levied at 0.759% of gross salary. It appears as a separate deduction on payslips and is withheld and remitted by the employer.

This calculator provides an estimate based on official 2026 SGK rates, income tax brackets, and minimum wage tax exemption. Actual payslip amounts may differ due to cumulative tax calculation, bonus payments, or individual circumstances.
