Your gross salary is what your employment contract states; your net salary is what lands in your bank account after deductions. In Turkey the difference consists of four items: employee social security (SGK) premium, unemployment insurance, progressive income tax and stamp duty. This tool applies the official 2026 parameters month by month and shows how tax brackets progress through the year.
How is it calculated?
For each month:
- The social security base is your gross salary, capped at TRY 297,270.
- Employee SGK premium is 14% of the base; unemployment insurance is 1%.
- The income tax base equals gross minus those premiums. Tax is computed on the cumulative base since January with progressive rates, which is why take-home pay can drop later in the year.
- The minimum-wage exemption applies: the tax a minimum-wage earner would pay that month is deducted from your computed tax. The stamp-duty portion corresponding to the minimum wage is also exempt.
- Stamp duty is 0.759% of the remaining base.
- Net salary = gross minus all deductions.
Employers additionally pay employer social security (21.75%) and employer unemployment contributions (2%); the tool shows total monthly employer cost.

Example
A minimum-wage employee grosses TRY 33,030 in 2026. After social security deductions, the minimum-wage exemption covers the entire income tax and stamp duty, leaving a net of TRY 28,075.50. For salaries above the minimum wage, only the portion above it is effectively taxed, and the applicable rate rises as the cumulative base crosses bracket thresholds during the year.
Frequently asked questions
What is deducted from a gross salary in Turkey?
Four items: employee social security (14%), unemployment insurance (1%), progressive income tax, and stamp duty at 0.759%. The portion corresponding to the minimum wage is exempt from income tax and stamp duty.
Why does net salary decrease during the year?
Income tax is computed on the cumulative tax base since January. Once the cumulative base crosses a bracket threshold, the excess is taxed at a higher rate, so the same gross yields a lower net in later months.
What is the social security ceiling?
In 2026 the monthly premium base is capped at TRY 297,270. Salaries above the cap pay premiums only up to it, but income tax still applies to the full taxable amount.
Does this include bonuses or benefits?
No. The tool assumes a constant gross salary for 12 months; bonuses, allowances and private pension deductions are excluded and would change actual payroll results.
