Turkey Gross to Net Salary Calculator 2026
Convert gross salary to net for Turkey in 2026. A 50,000 TL monthly gross starts the year at about 40,208 TL net in January and falls in later months as Turkey's cumulative tax brackets bite. The calculator applies SGK premiums (14% + 1%), the progressive income tax scale from 15% to 40%, stamp duty and the minimum-wage exemption — and also works from net to gross.

How net salary is calculated in Turkey (2026)
Turkish payroll deducts SGK social security (14%) and unemployment insurance (1%) from gross pay, both capped at the 2026 contribution ceiling of 297,270 TL per month. The remainder is the income-tax base.
Income tax uses cumulative annual brackets: your year-to-date tax base determines the rate, so the same gross salary produces a lower net in December than in January once you cross into the 20%, 27%, 35% or 40% brackets. This calculator simulates all twelve months, exactly like a payroll office.
Since 2022, the tax that would be due on the minimum wage (33,030 TL gross in 2026) is exempt every month, for every employee. Stamp duty of 0.759% applies only to the portion of gross pay above the minimum wage.
The employer additionally pays SGK and unemployment premiums — 21.75% with the standard 2-point incentive in 2026 — which is what the total employer cost figure shows.
Net to Gross Calculator for Turkey
Switch the calculator to net-to-gross to find the gross salary that produces a target take-home pay. Because Turkey's cumulative brackets push the tax up through the year, a constant monthly net requires a rising gross: the tool solves each month separately, the way payroll departments quote "net salary" contracts.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my net salary drop in the middle of the year in Turkey?
Income tax uses cumulative annual brackets. Once your year-to-date tax base passes 190,000 TL your marginal rate rises from 15% to 20%, then 27% above 400,000 TL, 35% above 1,500,000 TL and 40% above 5,300,000 TL. Same gross, higher rate, lower net.
What is the minimum-wage tax exemption?
The income tax and stamp duty that would be due on the minimum wage (33,030 TL gross in 2026) are exempt for every employee, every month. In practice a minimum-wage earner takes home 28,075.50 TL — gross minus only the 15% social contributions.
How much does an employee really cost the employer in Turkey?
Employer SGK plus unemployment premiums add 21.75% on top of gross salary under the standard 2-point incentive in 2026 (18.75% for manufacturing with the 5-point discount, 23.75% without incentives), on earnings up to the 297,270 TL monthly ceiling.
Is severance or bonus included in this calculation?
No — the calculator models regular monthly wages. Bonuses raise the cumulative tax base in the month they are paid, which you can approximate by entering a higher gross for that month's average.
