Short answers

What is the 2026 net minimum wage?

The 33,030 TL gross minimum wage nets 28,075.50 TL for an ordinary worker. Income tax and stamp tax are zero because of the exemption. The only deductions are SGK 14% and unemployment 1%.

Why does net pay fall during the year?

Income tax is progressive on the base accumulated from January. The same gross produces more tax once it enters the second and third bands. On minimum wage the tax due stays zero, so net does not change.

Does an employer incentive raise take-home pay?

No. The 2-point and 5-point cuts reduce the employer’s SGK premium. The worker’s SGK, unemployment, income tax and stamp tax stay the same.

Why is a retired worker’s net higher?

A retired worker pays a 7.5% social-security support premium instead of 14%, and no unemployment premium. On minimum wage the January net is 30,181.16 TL. The employer premium is higher than for an ordinary worker.

Is severance due before a full year?

No. Article 14 of Law 1475 requires at least one full year. Extra days are added pro rata only after that year. The July–December 2026 ceiling is 73,729.87 TL; only stamp tax is deducted.

How many weeks is notice pay?

Under six months: 2 weeks; six months–one and a half years: 4 weeks; one and a half–three years: 6 weeks; over three years: 8 weeks. A full three years stays at 6 weeks. Income tax follows the exit-month payslip.

Is unused annual leave paid on exit?

Yes. After one year the entitlement is 14, 20 or 26 days. Under-18s and over-50s get at least 20 days. On exit it counts as wages; SGK and tax are taken on that month’s payslip.

How much is 2026 unemployment benefit?

40% of the last four months’ gross average, capped at 26,424 TL. A minimum-wage worker’s monthly net is 13,111.72 TL. 600 premium days pay 6 months, 900 days 8 months, 1,080 days 10 months. Resignation does not, as a rule, create a right.

How is sick pay calculated?

Daily earnings are now last-12-month pensionable earnings divided by premium days. Outpatient 2/3, inpatient 1/2. Illness drops the first 2 days and needs 90 premium days.

How much is 2026 maternity pay?

Since 1 May 2026 a single pregnancy is 168 days. On minimum wage the maternity benefit is 123,312 TL. Nursing is a separate 1,621 TL. Calculators that still write 112 days are using the old rule.
